Adan replies:

Hee!  I just wrote something about "journals" in another reply. 

I do agree with you that it is feasible that Lucius wrote in the 
diary, perhaps hatching the plan as you say (including giving it 
specifically to Ginny Weasley), especially if he knew exactly what 
the diary could do.  

That was originally a reply to the theory that Lucius had informed 
the diary of what had happened with Voldemort at the Potter 
safehouse.  I think that Diary!Tom learned it all from Ginny.  

But I do wonder HOW Lucius knew about the diary.  Was he in touch 
with VaporMort?  As has been brought up before, did Riddle, or 
Voldemort, leave some possessions with Malfoy for safekeeping and/or 
later deployment?  

As to the giving it to Ginny... I agree that Lucius was taking an 
opportunity to thwart the muggle-loving and raid-directing Arthur.  
And, if it was Diary!Tom's plan to be reborn, well, I wonder if it 
was important *to him* to use a pureblood for that purpose.  Wouldn't 
it have been unfortunate for him to go through all that trouble to 
live again only to be a muggle-born or half-blood?
