I think the forgotten element here is who planted the diary in 
Hogwarts? Its *his* intentions that got the book back in 
circulation, and *they* are probably the intentions on Harry, that 
worried Dobby so fearfully.

Lucius had his own ends to accomplish through planting the diary on 
Ginny. I have laid down all the grounds for this theory before on 
HPFGU a while ago, so while I dig up that thread I'll give you the 
outlay of my theory to ponder.

Lucius intend to knock out several birds with one stone to a 
pinnacle end by using Tom, Ginny, Harry and the Diary.
Here's a list:
1. Frame the Weasleys, namely Arthur, for Dark Magic.
2. Force impure blood out of Hogwarts (a start on getting them out 
of Wizardom).
3. He counted on Harry Potter to be a distraction for Tom Riddle to 
the death of one or the other he didn't care which.
4. Have Dumbledore declared incompetent and undermine his liberal 
campaign.
5. Be the master of his Wizard Kingdom happily ever after.

It was Lucius who wanted the Basilisk to roam Hogwarts, for his own 
ends. He needed Tom Riddle to release it and therefore needed Harry 
Potter to keep Tom out of his way while he set about undermining his 
political enemies. (Weasleys and DD)

This IMHO is the plan that Dobby knew of, and it probably included a 
fair deal more nasty stuff to follow what did happen at Hogwarts in 
the year of COS.

Any questions?
