I have just finished a reread of CoS and something started niggling 
at me. Why is it that during the scenes down in the actual Chamber 
of Secrets Harry's scar never bothered him? In SS Vapo!Mort made 
Harry's scar burn from across a room, in GoF and OotP Harry can feel 
LV from miles away, so why is it that when Harry is in close contact 
with Diary!Tom he doesn't feel anything? Shouldn't his head be 
splitting open from agony? 

Come to that, how did Diary!Tom know so much about his own future? I 
always assumed that Ginny told him about Harry's defeat of LV, but 
how did he know all that other stuff, like the fact that he became 
LV at all? Was Lucius Malfoy writing in Tom Riddle's diary, 
communicating with it somehow? Or did LV keep the journal longer 
than Tom implied (ie: long after he was sixteen)? If the diary 
hadn't been destroyed, what could it tell us about Tom and LV and 
the Malfoys and all that good stuff? Would there have been a way to 
make the diary tell the truth? 

Meri, puzzled...
