Steffy:
I have been wondering about the above point you made in your 
arugement for awhile.  If he did know about the CoS, why didn't he 
mention it at the graveyard?  I don't think LV knew about it for 
that very reason.  On the same line of reasoning, I don't think 
Malfoy knew that it was goign to bring Tom Riddle AKA LV back.  I 
think he just wanted to stir up some trouble for Dumbledore and the 
Weasleys.  If he knew that the diary was going to bring Tom Riddle 
back, then why didn't he stick up for himself at the graveyard?  He 
could have defended himself by saying "I haven't been lying dormant 
all these years Master, just two years ago I tried to resurrect your 
schoolboy self in the form of a diary so that you could once again 
rule the wizarding world, and I would have gotten away with it too, 
if it hadn't been for that Harry Potter and his meddling phoenix."

Also, I don't think LV ever mentions Harry defeating him 3 times.  I 
believe (correct me if I'm wrong!!) he only says Harry defeated him 
twice.  Once as a baby and then when he was searching for the SS.  
Figured if he knew that Harry had defeated Tom Riddle/LV he would 
say Harry thwarted his attempts at WW domination 3 times, and not 
twice.
