I'm still waiting for the payoff of Ginny Weasley's experience in 
that book.  Because of the whodunnit construction, we don't get 
much of a look at exactly what her possession entailed, but it 
must have been a doozy.  At the very least, he probably imparted 
his parseltongue ability to her.  She's clearly also being set up 
as a love interest for Harry of some kind, so I'd expect to see her 
fleshed out a lot more than she is at the moment.

Ginny's had closer contact with Tom Riddle than anyone in the 
series so far-- intimate magical contact, moreover, with pre-
Voldemort Riddle.  Could that come in handy for our heros 
further on?

Oh-- and I reckon we'll find out that Snape knows more than "a 
tiny little bit about dueling".
