How did Tom Riddle win over the Purebloods?
Given the extensive Pure blood snobbery. How did Tom Riddle manage to convince the then students to join his group which would later become Death Eaters?
He wouldn't have been able to hide his origins from the other students most certainly. Did he reveal his ability to speak Parseltongue?
Cause I doubt the purebloods would have been impressed by awards or good manners or even being able to manipulate the teachers. He would also have shown some of the top purebloods the chamber of secrets.
What do you think how did he get the purebloods on his side?
