>I think that the diary was originally created in much the same way,  in
this case with a memory removed from sixteen-year-this case with a me
June 13 of his fifth year (the day he killed Moaning Myrtle using  the
Basilisk), much as Snape and Dumbledore remove memories from  their
heads to place in the Pensieve. No soul bit was required for the  diary
to serve its original purpose, seducing a reader into releasing  the
Basilisk. Memory!Tom had the power of possession, just as the real  Tom
did, before he knew how to create a Horcrux. Once it became a  Horcrux,
Memory!Tom had the power to leave the book, using Ginny's soul,  not
the encased soul bit, to give himself life. (Notice that he does  not
share her personality, powers, or memories. He knows only what he  knew
at sixteen and what she has told him about  
Nikkalmati; 
When did the Diary become a Horcrux?  Did LV stop writing in it after  his 
16th year but take it with him when he left Hogwarts and make it a Horcrux  many 
years later when he had learned how to do it?  Did he leave it at  Hogwarts 
and retrieve it later?  Did he then keep it in hiding until he  gave it to 
Malfoy before he was destroyed at GH?  What do you all think is  the history of 
the diary?
