Erin:
   Whoa, boy, is there ever!  The one you mentioned, Ginny & Tom 
Riddle's diary, is definitely one of them.  For all the others (too 
numerous to list here), go to post# 40168, in which most of them are 
brilliantly outlined by Elkins.  A couple more are included in post# 
45290.

Erin: 
This is one of the central ideas of Imperio'd!Arthur, or LAW CAMERA 
(Lovable Arthur Weasley Controlled And Manipulated by Evil Riddle 
Anagram) a theory that Arthur was placed under an Imperius curse 
during Voldemort's first rise to power, outlined in #40168.  Go check 
it out.  It's well worth your time.  


> Ironically, this may also be the reason why it was Ginny who 
slammed  the music box shut when they were cleaning up Grimsalde, as 
she was  more "sensitive" to the effects of "mind control" and 
recognized the danger faster.  

Erin: 
This is a truly excellent bit of canon, and one which, to my 
knowledge, hasn't been mentioned before in connection with Imperio'd!
Arthur. (If someone has, and I missed it, my apologies) Thanks for 
pointing this one out.
