It seems to me that the Horcrux/diary was made with Moaning Myrtles
death.  Since the diary details events leading up to Myrtle's death,
it seems likely that it was created by her death and the award for
special services given to Tom for 'catching' Hagrid.

what really noodles my brain is how diary/horcrux/Tom Riddle knows
about Harry Potter, especially since Harry wasn't even born when the
horcrux was created (CoS). How can a piece of your soul preserved in
the past be knowledgeable of the future? if Voldemort isn't in
communication with a horcrux (active or inactive) and doesn't know
when a horcrux is destroyed, then how does a horcrux/soul imprint know
about things that transpire after it's creation?  

Ciji.
