I realize she was underTR's control at the time, but ASFAIK, the diary
was mute, communicating outside itself only by TR's writing.  So how
was the sink opened for Ginny to get into the tunnel? It seems she 
would have to have spoken to the sink in Parsiltongue.  TR might have
told ter what to hiss, but could that have given her the ability for
life, as V seems to have given Harry certain of his powers?
