If the book had been "Sherry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets",
then Lucy Malfoy with have given Tonya Riddle's diary to a shy, love-sick
schoolboy named Georgie Weasley (Brother of Sherry's good friend
Rhonda, and twins Frida and Gina).

( Zeus, I'm starting to sound like the "Parallel Universe" episode of
  _Red Dwarf_!  :) )

>He says that he and Harry are both "halfbloods" (CoS chapter 17).  How?

Death Eaters don't consider Muggle-borns to be "true" wizards/witches, so
Harry is of "impure" blood by their reckoning.
