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.)
