Alla:

No memory gaps = no possession? Hmmm, I am afraid poor Ginny is NOT 
an expert on all the ways person could have been possessed, 
including herself.

Just ask Harry if he has any trouble remembering anything that had 
happened to him while he was possessed at MOM? You DO agree that he 
was possessed?

Alla:

Oh, sure it can change my mind if I cannot find any other 
interpretation for those inconvenient facts. Then I will bow to you 
and say that this is a "stalemade" canon, right now I really can 
find the other interpretation. :)

Alla:

Hehe. Why did I know that you were going to say it? Voldemort was 
NOT in Draco's head prior to him making the decision, Voldemort WAS 
in Ginny's head at least prior to her stealing the diary. To me it 
makes all the difference in the world. But sure Draco was upset that 
his criminal father was in jail and wanted to avenge him, absolutely.

Ginny did not sign up for murder, her mistake was to trust the book. 
Draco DID sign for murder. He deserves jail in my book, Ginny in my 
book deserved rest and healing and that is exactly where she went.

IMO,
