I thought of three other options, and dismissed all of them. Riddle gets over 98% of the 'canon character born in 1926' probability mass, and so I intend to spend a comparable amount discussing him over other options.

Hmm. It seems it was supposed to be obvious it wasn't Riddle. How odd.

Why does it seem that way?

Word of God.

Okay. I still stand by my probability (after I revised it down from the Noble House conversation) but it's irrelevant because the new birthdate suggests Quirrel is supposed to be a non-canon character.

You sure? The graduation date didn't change, so it's still one of Riddle's classmates. How many boys were sorted into Slytherin in 1938?

Edit: I just realized class sizes in 1991 have been more than doubled from canon, so you may have a point.
