Then why didn't Riddle already know about Harry and his later self, instead of
strongly implying he'd found out about it from Ginny?

But his actions support this; he resumed his course of Muggle persecution
until he found out about Harry, and then changed his objective.

I did find book 2 the least solid, for this very reason. While it *was*
engrossing action, what started the action, and why was it going on? What was
Dobby so worried about? Harry wasn't pure Muggle. I never understood Dobby's
involvement, it seemed a bit shaky.
