When I read this part of the faq, I tought that Ginny death would
maybe not have strengthened Voldemort magically, but physically. In
CoS, Voldemort was still bodyless. Tom, stealing Ginny's life, would
have been out of the diary, real and palpable - or I suppose so. I
don't know what kind of body - maybe not flesh and bones - but at
least solid. I think that would have been a perfect opportunity for
Voldemort to get a body back by possessing Tom's - It would have been
a lot more practical for him than animals, and I don't think that
doing that to a 50 years old memory of himself would have bothered him.
