Not necessarily. We don't know for sure if the memory in the diary is 
the same as the part of his soul. In other words, perhaps he created the 
diary as a horcrux, then made it like a pensieve in that it could hold 
those few specific memories he showed Harry, and the bit that was part 
of his soul was what talked with Ginny.

Also, is it possible that when you take a memory out and put it in a 
pensieve, then watch the memory, you're making the equivilent of a 
second generation videotape with that memory? Is that how Slughorn 
"pastede on" his edits to his memory of the talk with Tom?
