I guess that's where the whole "Voldemort is a spirit looking for a body" theory from the Changeling makes more sense. And so whatever soul inhabited Tom somehow got mixed up with Harry and yadda yadda yadda... oy... confused. Anyone care to shed light? I guess I need to re-read COS, but even then, the whole Tom/Voldy relationship still didn't clear up much.

Voldie being a spirit searching for a body didn't happen until he tried to kill Harry.
the three people that were killed were Tom Riddle and his parents. But Voldemort wasn't killed, remember, he was named after his father.
the creeping black haired teenager was Voldemort/Tom and the home was that of his grandparents, where the senior Tom Riddle lived as well.
Tom's mom died long before that, and i don't think it was by tom's hand, and its because of her death that he's sent to a muggle orphanage.
sorry for the multiple posts all in a row.
im a harry potter fanatic, and i have a problem addiction.
