Abergoat responds:
I'll admit getting people interested in Eileen is really rough going!
My posts about her seem to have been involved in spawning another
Marauder thread that has zero to say about her and now my post about
the CoS/HBP connection has spawned something else that isn't
interested in her either! (lol) Hopefully I get to snicker at all of
you when the last book comes out ;)

Abergoat responds:
I am not suggesting she wanted to find it. I'm merely suggesting she
MIGHT have helped Tom Riddle find it. If she is interested in books he
may have seen her often in the library - given Voldemort's knowledge
I'm sure he spent a fare bit of time checking out books. And Tom
Riddle was a charmer, I'm sure Eileen was horrified by what happened
if she was in anyway involved. But the tie in that I'm certain has a
good possiblity of being what JKR uses is Eileen, Hagrid and Myrtle.
They are only one year apart if not the same year. And I suspect
someone gave Dumbledore information to use in defense of Hagrid. And
JKR even slipped in the information that Myrtle didn't stay at
Hogwarts at the beginning - she went off to haunt Olivia Hornsby (or
something like that). How convenient.

Not only do we see the necklace, we see the hand of glory.
