That diary.....

No: HPFGUIDX 161839

Jeremiah:

I don't know. I think that from my own reading of the text, that the  
Horcrux is deliberately created. I think this because a portion of  
the soul is extracted into another "object" and if you can just kill  
things and "woops I made a Horcrux" then where is Snape's from  
Dumbledore's murder?

doug:

  That is not what I'm proposing. I propose that Tom Riddle perhaps  
placed a bit of soul in the diary as a means of giving it  
intelligence, only then to discover what he had actually done.

  Offending signature line removed. Bong! Bong! Bong!
