Diary!V to Lucius: "Yeah, that's a great plan, Mr. Malfoy... Just one
snag... I don't wanna!  I don't want to share my new body with some
vapourous git, even if it *is* an alternate version of me.  I want to
live my own life and evade all of Vapor!V's dumb mistakes; so he can
rot in Albania for all I care!"

Lucius: "Oops!"

(Of course, this depends on Diary!V having true sentience and free
will and not being some kind of magical automaton, which is far from
clear.)

This makes sense, since Molly implies that she and Arhtur were at
school after the previous Chamber incident, but before Hagrid became
gamekeeper.

Okay, here's a wicked scenario: What if Draco was *adopted*, and his
biological parents were... MUGGLES!!  (Bwahahaha!) :)
