To start off a bit OT in this reply, about a year before Order came 
out I wrote down a list of questions that I wanted the book to 
answer (which girl is Harry gonna end up with? Will Sirius and Harry 
get to spend time together? etc.) and one of the questions I asked 
was "How did Tom Riddle's diary know about events that had happened 
over forty years after its writing, especially Harry's defeat of 
LV?" and when I read the list about six months before the book came 
out the answer dawned on me: that Ginny told the diary, of course. I 
believe Tom says himself that Ginny spoke all about brave Harry 
Potter who defeated the Dark Lord, etc, etc. And that's how he knew 
to target Harry through Ginny. Anyway, that's all I have to say 
about that. 
Meri - hoping the List Elves will not be shipping off Howlers to me 
for my OT post...
