Tammy:

IMO, Lucius wasn't specifically after Ginny, but more any of the
Weasley children. True, Ginny as the only female would have been the
easiest mark for a diary, but I think Lucius would have accepted any
Weasley he could get the diary onto.

As for Dobby, I think there's still more to that story coming, there
are some lovely conspiracy theories revolving around Dobby, I know
you're probably all tired of rehashing those - but I for one wouldn't
mind a repeat!

-Tammy, who so enjoys reading conspiracy theories but can't seem to
come up with one of her own.
