Terri, when Tom started wearing the ring the Deathstick was still in Gellert's hands. (And we have reason to think Albus was aware of this for a while, considering he was in touch with Ollivander by 1938.) So when did Albus figure out the ring wasn't just a Quester's piece of jewelry but the real Resurrection Stone? Did he not fear Tom would join forces with Gellert? Did he perhaps encourage Tom's individualism to keep that from happening? Does this have anything to do with the timing of the Albus/Gellert confrontation? After all if Tom has the Stone then Gellert can't be Master of Death. And Albus went to meet Gellert just around the time Tom was leaving school, free to go in pursuit of the Elder Wand. So it seems Albus realized Tom had the Stone in Tom's 7th year, though of course Tom may have come by it earlier.
