The conception is thought to have occurred sometime after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996 and before Voldemort's death at Harry's hands in 1998. Unknown to most, however, Voldemort's legacy and bloodline would live on through his daughter Delphini, whom he conceived with his loyal follower Bellatrix Lestrange. He was finally killed by his own backfired Killing Curse after Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore succeeded in destroying all of his Horcruxes. Although unable to die, he was unable to regain a permanent and physical body until 1995, thus spending the intervening fourteen years as ' a shell, less than the meanest ghost'. Voldemort was ripped from his body in 1981 after attempting to kill Harry Potter. In the First and Second Wizarding Wars, he commanded a veritable army of wizards and Dark creatures committed countless murders and atrocities and eventually succeeded in taking over the British Ministry of Magic.

Before she died, she stated that her son was to be named after his father (Tom) and maternal grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt. His mother died within an hour of giving birth to him. When the enchantment was lifted, Tom's father abandoned his pregnant wife and returned to Little Hangleton. Descended from Salazar Slytherin on his mother's side through the House of Gaunt, Tom Riddle was conceived whilst his father, Tom Riddle Senior, was under the effects of a love potion supplied by his mother, Merope Gaunt.
