Allie:

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by Ginny's possession by 
Tom.  I never read anything sexual in that.  He used her closeness 
with the diary to possess her, but I did not get the impression that 
there was anything sexual about or that it even mattered that Ginny 
was a girl.  The same thing could have happened if say, Colin 
Creevey were writing in the diary.  (And yes sexual violence can be 
same sex I get that.)
