Dumbledore had seen the true Tom Riddle when they first met: the boy who tortured, stole, and completely abused his powers. As a result, Dumbledore never fully trusted him, and Tom never even tried to win Dumbledore's trust.
Although, as Dumbledore says, Harry's ability to speak Parseltongue is a skill accidentally transferred by Slytherin's actual heir, Voldemort, when he tried to kill Harry as a baby. So perhaps this is one myth with a bit of truth to it.

Dumbledore is facing an uphill battle Hagrid is a political nonentity and in all honesty a liability as he is a half giant. Dumbledore does nothing with his vast political clout except give 2nd chances to Death Eaters.
Tom Riddle didn't "accidentally" kill Myrtle—he MURDERED her. He sicced the Basilisk on her because she was muggleborn. Tom never felt bad about murdering anyone.
However, Tom was in love with a Muggle woman named Cecilia and did not noticing Merope or her affections towards him. Determined to have Tom for herself, Merope was said to have given Tom a love potion to make him fall in love with her.
Ginny was not the heir of Slytherin. The only reason she was able to open the chamber of secrets was because she was being possessed by the spirit Of 16-year-old Voldemort.
