		He is Lord Voldemort's maternal grandfather, patriarch of the House of Gaunt and first appears in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

		Marvolo Gaunt's daughter Merope Gaunt bore a halfblood grandson with the muggle Tom Riddle Sr named Tom Marvolo Riddle.

	Encyclopedia: Tom Riddle Sr.
		The cottage belonged to Marvolo Gaunt and his children, Merope Gaunt and Morfin Gaunt wizards and descendants of Salazar Slytherin.
		While The Riddles (and, it can be assumed, everyone else in the area) scorned the Gaunts, young Merope made efforts to get as close to Tom as she could, peering at him through the windows and bushes at every opportunity.
		This was the trigger to a sequence of events that led to the Gaunt men being sentenced to imprisonment in Azkaban.

	Encyclopedia: The Riddles (Harry Potter)
		While The Riddles (and, it can be assumed, everyone else in the area) scorned the Gaunts, young Merope made efforts to get as close to Tom as she could, eventually succeeding (though the use of a love potion) in getting Tom Riddle to elope with her and give her a child.
		However, at some point after the beginning of her pregnancy, Merope stopped giving the potion to Tom Riddle and he quickly fled back to his parents in Little Hangleton, where he lived out the rest of his life, never meeting his son, Tom Marvolo Riddle, until the night of his death.
		Merope Riddle nÃ©e Gaunt (1907 - 31 December 1926) is a character from the fictional Harry Potter series.

		Merope went against her father’s wishes, knowing how harsh he would have been on her if he’d been able to find her once he found out.
		As Dumbledore explains, “Merope, who was deeply in love with her husband, could not bear to continue enslaving him by magical means.
		Merope truly loved Tom Riddle, and she could easily have been a coward and relied on her potion to keep him near her.

		The Pleiades are Alcyone, Electra, Celaeno, Maia, Sterope, Merope and Taygete.
		Sisyphus founded the city of Ephyre (Corinth) and later revealed Zeus's rape of Ægina to her father Asopus (a river), for which Zeus condemned him to roll a huge stone up a hill in Hades, only to have it roll back down each time the task was nearly done.
		Merope often is considered the Lost Pleiad, because, having married a mortal, the crafty Sisyphus, she hid her face in shame when she thought of her sisters' alliances with the gods, and realized that she had thrown herself away.

		No one in the books thinks TMR (Voldemort himself) is buried there, and his mother Merope certainly wouldn't be, either.
		Tom Marvolo Riddle (Lord Voldemort) was named Tom after his father (who may have been named after his father) and Marvolo after his mother's (Merope Gaunt) father Marvolo Gaunt.
		He murdered his father and paternal grandparents when he was about 16 which means the DOB is wrong on the gravestone as well it should not read 1915 as Tom snr would have been about 11 when he fathered Tom jnr (Voldie).

		It's an obvious one since it says "Tom Marvolo Riddle" and that is not Voldemort's father's name, since Marvolo is the name of his grandfather Gaunt.
		They would have filmed the shot before the Half-Blood Prince was published and could have made the mistake of assuming Voldemort was a junior and so his father would need to have the same name as him.
		The only problem I find with that logic is the dates on the gravestone indicate that if the third name is Voldemort's father, then he knocked Merope up when he was twelve!
