EJ:
If you remember in the COS Tom Riddle AKA Voldemort is able to take 
control of Ginny Weasley. He does not have a wand, or for that matter 
even a body when he does this. He does it through his diary. "So 
Ginny poured out her soul to me and her soul happened to be exactly 
what I wanted... I grew stronger" and then, "Powerful enough to start 
feeding Miss Weasley a few of my secrets, to start pouring a little 
of my soul back into her..."
In this way Voldemort has Ginny open the COS, kill roosters, and 
write messages on the walls. He has somewhat possessed her and feeds 
off of her to grow stronger.
Now that I have written this it gets me to thinking. Now that 
Voldemort has regained a body and full use of his powers, will Ginny 
be susceptible to Voldemort possessing her again? 
JKR says that things happen in book two that we don't realize the 
importance of. She also tells us that Ginny will play a bigger role 
in book five, so I wonder...
