Does Here-and-Now!Voldy even know that Diary!Voldy possessed Ginny?  I
sort of assumed that the diary was just a copy of Riddle's memories
mated to a mess of spells-- that there was no connection to the real
Tom.  (But if that's true, and Diary!Voldy had succeeded, would we
have two competing Dark Lords?)

Is there any canon one way or the other?
