Now me:
Ok, I'm confused.  Who exactly is Riddle supposed to be feeling lust 
FOR?  The only people he/it meets are Ginny, an 11-year-old girl, and 
Harry, a 12-year-old boy.  Not that I don't think he's capable of 
being that twisted, but that's not something JKR's going to put in a 
book for children.  (Although come to think about it, there are an 
awful lot of references to Riddle's "hungry eyes" in that chamber 
scene...)

I believe that the diary was a complete copy of the Riddle of that 
time, but is really only "activated" when someone handles it or 
writes in it, and there has never really been an appropriate moment 
for Riddle to express any other "feelings" he might have.  Or any 
stimulus, really.
