No, I disagree, I can well imagine a plot being developed.  LV must 
have lived somewhere before attacking Harry.  After his disappearance 
the DEs would have searched his house, and I can quite imagine that 
Malfoy would have taken a lot of incriminating stuff to his own house 
(In CoS he admits to having stuff stashed).  The empty diary would 
have intrigued him I think and he might well have found out about 
writing in it.  naturally he would then have plotted with Riddle/LV 
and possibly others.  I've got more thoughts on this but I have to go 
to work!!
