The mysterious Tom Marvolo Riddle

[Gryffindor Student]

I agree with Luna, I mean I think Pettigrew had to be in Gryffindor becouse didnt in the Three Broomsticks, they said that Sirius and James were inseperable and that Peter was always tagging along with them? And he tagged along with them when Remus was around too. He just liked friends in high places becouse he never was the populat type. James and Sirius were very bright, they were both class clowns and James was on the Quidditch Team. So yea, I think Peter could have been in Gryffindor. I mean if was always tagging alongl, wouldnt he be able to do it easier if he was in the same house, but he could also start tagging along whenever he saw them in the hallway coming out of his dormitory. So I think mostly Gryffindor but there is a possblility he was in anothet house but definatly not Ravenclaw. Slytherin could be but they I dont think the Gryffindors would soclilize ebcouse they have always had a tension between those two houses. So Peter was either in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. Im not sure.

My lane of thinking, as well.

To get back to Tom Riddle, I finally figured it out after a year or so (oh, I know I'm dim to not have figured it before...)

In the beginning of Goblet, when the maid finds the Riddle's dead, here's what it's GOT to be:

It said it was Mr, Mrs and Tom Riddle. Well, if Tom (the younger) and Tom (the father) have the same name, and someone reported seeing a pale-faced boy entering the house earlier that day, then hey--it was Tom (the older) who was killed--and by his son at that. He-who-must-not-be-named, who was Tom at the time, killed his father. And it must have been out of hate, for leaving him and his mother when his father found out his mother was a witch!

*REVELATION...*

It just took me forever to figure this out. I KNOW--I'm dimmer than a 12 watt bulb.

Does this make sense to everyone else? It makes perfect sense to me (except for the fact that he killed his father--ack!) and it was like a lightbulb went on in my head when I figured it out.
