That diary.....

Is it possible that Tom Riddle, so full of himself, built the diary  
as a magical artifact solely to release the monster at another time,  
but knowing that the artifact would need not only memory, but some  
intelligence and will, managed somehow to instill it with a bit of  
soul? He had a few spare bits floating around. I suggest here that it  
wasn't intended, perhaps, as a horcrux at all... but 'acccidentally'  
became one because the enchantment required a future will and  
intelligence to direct the consequent action.

Riddle might then have realized what he had done - created a horcrux  
- and then sought out information from Slughorn on creating others. (?)


No one, no one is here. We stand in the Atlantic. We become panoramic.
