So I've read the books over and over - and I love them.
     

But this time I'm reading for content, and I just found something I don't know how to 
parse. In CoS ch.17, almost the end  - Harry is confronting Tom Riddle, with Ginny on the 
ground almost gone. Tom is explaining about how the diary really works and how he got 
Ginny to help him. 
   Then this line from Tom.  "Powerful enough to start feeding Miss Weasley a few of MY 
secrets, to start pouring a little of MY soul back into her..."

 His SOUL?!?  Ginny has received some of his soul?!?

What could this mean?
