Tonks here:

This brings to mind.. NECROMANCY.  We don't fully understand, as I 
think Geoff has said, "what Diary Tom is".  I have often thought 
that when DD talks to the pictures in his office (the ones bond to 
serve the current Headmaster, even when they don't want to) that 
this hinted of Necromancy. But Necromancy is part of the Dark Arts, 
so DD can't be doing that. But surely Tom got into that, and maybe 
the other DEers did too. 

I understand that it is very dangerious and that the wizard puts up 
barriers to protect himself. Maybe this has something to do with the 
steps that Tom took. And maybe it backfired on him.. he contacted 
the Ultimate force of evil (what he believes is not good or evil, 
but only power) and that force took him over.

Any thoughts???
