Tom Riddle killed his father because he thought muggles were filth and wanted to avenge his mother by killing his father and his father's parents (his grandparents, who were also muggles)

Also because his father abandoned his mother.

He killed Harry's mother and father. This was due to a prophecy that he came by that told of a boy that would be born and would eventually be his downfall (Harry).

How did lord Voldemort get his name?

His birth name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. He hated his name, because his father was a muggle. However, he made Lord Voldemort out of Tom Marvolo Riddle. If you rearrange the letters Tom Marvolo Riddle can say "I am Lord Voldemort." You see him demonstrate this in HP and the Chamber of Secrets.

Right after she had Tom jr. she ran out of love potion and Tom sr. left her.


What happens if you kill a horcrux?

It depends on how many one wizard or witch has. for example, Lord Voldemort had six and a seventh one he never meant to make which was Harry Potter. to be able to have a horcrux that person will have to murder others which will cause their soul to split. like Lord Voldemort, he split his soul into seven pieces. in the harry potter films, one by one they were destroyed. if a horcrux gets destroyed that witch or wizard will feel pain or die if only spliting their souls once. but Lord Voldemort as known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, was obsessed with not dying even at an early age causing him to create so many.
