Dumbledore may had seen the hidden face of one Tom Riddle but never ever spoke to the other professors about his discovery, maybe he did it as a last ditch chance on Tom to fix his act but the fact remains that if he had opened his mouth even the least bit to them Tom wouldn't have that rock solid perfect reputation to hide behind during the Chamber fiasco not even the audacity to open it in the first place if he had more scrutiny than Dumbles

You have raised some really interesting points

You too, especially your questions:)
But they left with a bit more questions too...

Firstly though I have to point a disagreement. Firstly his Slytherin classmates didn't lead the life he had and secondly, who told you they did nothing to muggles even if it was within the law??? It's around the same time that Aramida Meliflua tried to get a law of muggle hunting passed -- and while the law never passed I really truly doubt that she was the only supporter of that idea or the only reason it got as far as the wizenganot;-

I firmly believe that his classmates that took such delight in following him (so much so they passed it on their children)used to engage in muggle hunting/muggle baiting all by themselves before Tom got into the game, they may not have gone all the way to murder yet but they also knew all the legal trips to get away from any consequence....Voldemort probably just outright escalated things instead of starting them.

Look I'm not saying he was blameless, far from it//// But, while he definitely had the brainpower to accurately guess where his actions were leading things, I really truly doubt to think on them until he was very late into the game//// If he had such a poor impulse control one action led to the next until it was too late//// Did he had to know better??? Definitely.- but he wasn't a deity either no matter how hard he pretended it even to himself:/)
