Very true and I agree with you; I would just add the caveat that the
decision to give the diary to Ginny was a spur-of-the-moment decision
because he was really, really angry with Arthur at the time.  He
wasn't scouring Diagon Ally looking for a likely Weasley to frame.

I don't think LM sent Dobby.  Dobby was too terrified and emotional
all through COS for him to have been obeying his master's orders.  It
would also challenge our view of Dobby as an overall good guy
character who we're expected to admire.
