I snipped everything, and just wanted to add, that she also said, that 
the diary Horcrux was created with Moaning Myrtle's murder. And may I 
just say, how glad I am about this statement. I have no idea, if she 
made this up on the spot, but nonetheless, at the very leas she seems 
to agree that *Riddle murdered Myrtle* and that it was not technically 
done by the Basilisk, so that his soul wouldn't split because of this.
