So Riddle used the diary to possess Ginny.

'"If I say it myself, Harry, I've always been able to charm the
people I needed. So Ginny poured out her soul to me and her soul
happened to be exactly what I wanted. I grew stronger and stronger on
a diet of her deepest fears, her darkest secrets. I grew powerful,
far more powerful than little Miss Weasley. Powerful enough to start
feeding Miss Weasley a few of /my/ secrets, to start pouring a little
of /my/ soul back into /her/..."'

This paragraph has always given me the creeps! He sounds a lot like a 
vampire doesn't he?  Charming but deadly. Why was he pouring his soul 
back into Ginny? Why does he reciprocate?  Was he planning on turning 
her into something else? Something undead? A dementor? What secrets 
did he feed Ginny?
