Doddie here:

You absolutely cannot use this arguement since  "Diary Tom" would 
not have known about Harry Potter defeating him YEARS LATER, yet 
speaks about it in COS scene!!!! I do not believe there is cannon to 
support "how Harry got his scar" with regards to discussions with 
TR...and if he found out about it...it would have had to come from 
Ginny.

My guess is that in COS, TR is looking for answers he doen't 
have...and still didn't get...because Harry simply didn't know...nor 
had anyone he came into contact with let anything "slip"...hence yet 
another reason for Harry to be raised in the Horribly Horrific 
Dursley home!(no slip-ups of wagging tongues WW which leads to trial 
in oop...because sssssooooo much was never made public info...or 
even rumor/gossip info.)

What's worse...is that we now have to wonder if Neville heard any of 
the prophecy during MOM scene....but also if any of the de's or OOP 
members who can give voldie the snippet he desires to hear. ***heavy 
sigh***  If DD did not have the same doubts he STILL would not have 
told Harry about the prophecy...the weapon is too great!!!  

I'm so glad that Neville being Neville destroyed the orb in oop.
