Cole

Mrs Cole was the matron of the orphanage where Tom Marvolo Riddle lived before attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is described as being skinny, and harassed-looking, with a sharp-featured face. She is also an experienced drinker. She holds vivid memories of the day Merope Gaunt stumbled into the orphanage, saying she was no older than herself. She was instructed to name Meropes new born child after Tom (her husband) and Marvolo (her father),(at first she thought Merope was from the circus with such an odd name). Elevan years after Meropes death Mrs. Cole was visited by Dumbledore who told her that Meropes son had been accsepted to Hogwarts.
