In part 6, it is revealed that Voldemort's mother's name was Merope, daughter of Marvolo, the last predessor of Salazor Slytherin.She married a muggle man(Tom Riddle ) with the help of a love potion.When she gets pregnant she decides not to use the potions any more, thinking that Tom would accept her. But Tom gets rid of her. Depressed Merope decides not to use her Magic anymore.At that time, her father and brother were in Azkaban.Merope dies leaving her child in an orphanage, to be named as Tom Marvolo Riddle.Even not being aware that he was a wizard, Tom controlled his powers very well.Later, Dumbledore(who was a teacher in Hogwarts that time) fetched him to Hogwarts, where Tom tried to gather information about his family through his name.When he came to know about his father, he becomes ashamed of his muggle parentage.In his later years, through Slughorn he comes to know about Horcruxes.He divides his soul into seven parts and starts his horrible game.Harry needs to destroy all the seven parts to kill him(out of which 2 or 3 were recovered and destroyed already by Dumbledore).
Also, after completing his seven years at Hogwarts, he wanted to return there as a teacher but was too young to be a one.Being a brilliant student, he was advice to seek a job in the ministry, which he didn't follow.He worked at a shop involved in making things related to Dark arts.

according to neha all right except the end he decided to work at Borgin and Burkes.......they don't make the magical items they sell them. Riddle was an expert of collecting things of that sort. We also learned that Tom asked Slughorn about Horcruxes and can deduced that he made six the seventh being his body. He split his soul into seven parts.Before you can killl Voldemort you have to get rid of his horcruxes.

in voldemarts past his mother is a witch, but this father is a muggle, who the mother fell in love with so then she gave hi a love potion and then got married soon she felt bad that she was giving the father love potion so stopped giving it to him. soon he left her and went back to his family. her father, who was a wizard and had the last of slytherins prize positions, hated muggles and killed the man that his daughter loved. soon she was about to give birth to tom riddle(voldemort), but she had nothing left so she sold slytherins things and the day she was about to give birth, she barely got enough strength to go to an orphanage. that's where she gave birth and right before she died she told the caretaker to name him tom mavorlo riddle after his father. tom grew up there and soon dumbledore told him that he was a wizard and he realized that he was because sometimes he did weird things he could not explain. That is all, but you should read the book.
