I agree with robryk: they’ve probably never heard of Tom Riddle. And I fear that if they saw SS’s name their reaction would as likely be “hey, cool!” as “OK, let’s go and talk to the headmaster”.
[EDITED to add: hi, downvoter(s). If you’d like to tell me what you think I did wrong, I can probably try to do it less in future.]
And, even if they did, they wouldn’t know that Riddle = Voldemort. At least, in canon I think Dumbledore or someone says in so many words that scarcely anyone ever connected the two.

Wouldn’t Tom Riddle have been at school around the same time as the Weasley twins’ grandparents?
But why would they know the names of people in the school at the same time as their grandparents?
