Pippin:
Yes, he was possessed -- and horribly, dreadfully aware of it. Show
me some canon that Voldemort can possess people,  allow them to
be aware of what they are doing, and yet not be aware that they are 
possessed.

Pippin:
I'm not talking about who should be punished. Punishment can be
counterproductive -- it was Ginny's fear of punishment that kept
her from trying to get help. You're saying Ginny's only mistake was 
to trust the book. I'm saying she made a further mistake in trying to 
cover up what was happening to her when she stopped trusting it. 

That *was* signing up for murder--she knew
that the attacks were no joke.  Like Draco, she was only fortunate 
that no one was killed. I think Dumbledore's mercy helped her to 
understand that she made a bad choice, just as it helped Draco to 
understand that his choices were wrong.
