Do you think memory Tom knew what had happened to LV since he made

I'm not sure he was aware of all the going on's. Do you suppose Mr. 
Malfoy was able to write in the Diary and tell him what was going 
on?  What did Mr.Malfoy hope to gain from passing on the Diary?  If 
he was hoping to bring Tom back so he could become LV again (and the 
killings) would that make Mr. Malfoy a 'good' DE?
 


Sonya,

I have never thought about Malfoy's ability to communicate
through the diary until now.  That is an interesting idea, and it fits
very well with the plot.

But on to what Malfoy could gain by planting the diary


My
thought is that it would have been the perfect way to undermine the
Muggle Protection Act that Author Wesley was pushing through the
Ministry. What worse situation could have arisen for Author, than to
have one of his children implicated in the deaths of Muggle Born
witches and wizards?

This would be a side benefit to Voldemort gaining more
information about Harry as well as potentially gaining a new body.
