What's even sillier is that unless you know about the *scar* -- which had to have either come from Hagrid, or one of the Accidental Magic Reversal squad some years later -- there is no reason for any of the public to think that Tom got around to *trying* to kill the kid. It would have been thought that the last person he killed either did, or was something he hadn't expected, and had managed to blow him up when he killed them. I mean, really. Two adults dead, Tom gone, why would anyone think he got a chance to attack the child as well?
We know it because Albus tells us so, but he wasn't telling the wider wizarding public. Or was he?
