Steve Kloves' script originally used all six flashbacks of Voldemort that are described in the book. In the movie, only two were used that had direct relevance to the plot. Had all of the remaining flashbacks remained, they would have provided more exposition and backstory, such as how Merope Gaunt (Tom Riddle's mother) met Tom Riddle, Sr. (his father) in the 1920s, and seduced him with love potion; how young Voldemort tracked down his maternal uncle Morfin Gaunt in Little Hangleton in 1943, stole his black family ring and murdered the Riddle family; the origins of Hufflepuff's Cup being a horcrux, which pays off in Harry Potter e i Doni della Morte - Parte 2 (2011); and finally, explaining why the Defense Against the Dark Arts job is jinxed, with each teacher lasting no more than one year since 1956, when Dumbledore turned down Tom Riddle's request to teach in that position.
