  In the Chamber (Ch. 17), Riddle tells Harry "It [Voldemort] was a

  only, of course."  One of those "intimate" friends must be Lucius 
  Malfoy, since he possessed the diary with Tom Riddle's name written 
  in it. .  

  Me: 
  Well, here's something interesting that I've kept asking myself. Was Malfoy with Voldemort at Hogwarts? I don't know. Voldemort must be sixtysomething, he was in his 6th or 7th year at howgarts when the CoS was opened and that happened 50 years ago. I don't think Malfoy is that old, I had always pictured him younger, maybe because he has a young son. So, if Malfoy was not with Voldemort at school, how did he get the diary?? Do you think Voldemort himself gave it to him, many years later? We already know he has some compromising items at home, probably things Voldemort has given him.
