Amey:

Remember when TR meets harry in CoS, he says he is more interested in 
Harry than "mudbloods" (Sorry not exact words)? He asks Harry how a 
small boy like him was successful against the "greatest wizard" 
twice? Is this just arrogance? This somehow points me to the fact 
that TR diary shadow maintained some concious of the real LV (just 
like photographs, not potraits). So if he could somehow gain body, he 
would go in search of his spirit (or whatever remained after curse) 
and merge with it again. Yes a new body, just 16 yr old, with all the 
powers restored... definitely stronger than present day LV in spirit 
form. And the way they met in CoS, I don't think by that time TR was 
such a good boy that he was much distingushable from LV, at least not 
in his nature.

I was just thinking today that I wished I had a diary that could make 
another version of me that would stay home and clean the house and 
feed my family while I sneaked out to the day spa. I think that 
Dumbledore should take a page out of Tom's diary and create another 
version of himself.  One Dumbledore would stay inside Hogwarts pacing 
his office while the other one could use his transfiguration skills 
to walk around, spying freely (Dobby anyone).  Heck why not 3 
Dumbledores.  One could be just for time-travel fix-ups, and another 
as backup in case one got killed.  Maybe, that beautiful "Nitwik 
Oddment" speech at the begining of SS/PS was actually given by a 
Dumbledore version that stunk at speech making!  Hell, why not 
another version of Sirius!  
(Before anyone freaks on me -- I am just joking!)
