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...
