Even if Harry won in the graveyard and killed Tom, the rest wouldn't let him live. He knew who several of them were and they saw Tom come back once already. Harry was against insurmountable odds but oh no let's pretend Tom was worse off!!!!
Tom rose to power AFTER Albus died. He couldn't while he was alive. Tells us who had more power
