Could Lucius perhaps have written in the diary himself, and 
discovered how it worked?  Maybe he received instructions from the 
Tom Riddle in the diary - it's not perfectly clear to me that diary!
Tom is confined to his own era.  He seems to have a fair bit of 
knowledge about what happened in the years following the Basilisk 
episode, and it isn't explained how he found out all of the things 
he knows.  I'm sure this has been discussed before, and of course, 
Ginny could have told him things.  But I got the impression that he 
is almost a continuation of Voldemort's mind, and is somehow aware 
of what his non-diary self went on to do.  "Voldemort is my past, 
present and future," is a line I come back to over and over - 
Voldemort seems almost to be a sort of anti-God, present at all 
times and in all places.
