Quote #10
HARRY POTTER: You. You're the Heir of Slytherin. You're Voldemort.
TOM RIDDLE: Surely you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name? No. I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world.
Whoa. We did not see this one coming. (Okay, we did see it coming, but only because we read the books first.) Tom drops a hint here, too. He's not pure-blood either because his father was a Muggle. That's why he changed his name. He couldn't stand the family connection.
