Random832:
No, because there we're _shown_ that the diary possession happened,
we're shown Diary!Tom from Harry's perspective, etc. In HBP, we're
told that Voldemort has some sort of plot for Draco to carry out, and
then we're shown Snape killing Dumbledore.

Note that we're also told that Snape has no idea what the plot is
himself. You are, again, confusing your interpretation of the book
with the actual content of the book when you keep talking about "the
canon version" and accusing anyone with a different interpretation of
"rewriting it".

I think this is more like the debate on whether Lucius acted alone or
if this was a contingency plan set up by Voldemort. Many people
thought the latter for a long time, I certainly did - now we know for
sure it was the former. I'm sure that if we were talking about COS
before that had come to light, you would be accusing anyone who
thought Lucius was acting alone of having an "alternate theory" that
is "rewriting the plot", because it being a plan to bring Voldemort
back was the more obvious theory - even before we knew about
Horcruxes. But we've seen that what is obvious is not always correct.
