dcgmck again:
 
Still, I don't think the memory of Riddle knew any more of what his 
future self had done than what Ginny told him in the diary before 
Harry started communicating with him.  Of course, then Riddle 
possessed Ginny again...  OK.  But Harry knew even less than Ginny 
did in his second year at Hogwarts.  OK, I'm confused again.  How 
would the memory have learned enough to contaminate Ginny, unless 
it was outside of the visible narrative line while at the Malfoy 
estate?
 
Cory again:
 
The more I think about this, the more I think I was wrong in my last 
post.  My initial thought was that, althought the diary was made by 
Riddle when he was 16, it somehow "grew" with Riddle/Voldemort as 
he matured, and therefore the Riddle that was in the diary had 
knowledge of everything that Voldemort was to become.  Upon further 
reflection (and having looked back at the chapter in COS where 
Riddle was talking to Harry in the Chamber), I think I might have 
been wrong about this.



Diane here:

Since the diary was in Malfoy's possession, perhaps Malfoy was 
keeping Voldemort up to date with the WW. Malfoy could have been 
ordered by VM to plant the diary on someone close to Harry. Ginny 
Weasley seemed like a good choice given her dad is a major thorn in 
Malfoy's side. Just my two knuts.
