That just shows how carefully I read. Or maybe it says something about my memory.
A couple of posts ago I asked the question: whom did Tom Riddle murder to create the Horcrux in the diary? I speculated that it might have been the girl whose death was blamed on the monster hidden in the Chamber of Secrets during Riddle's (and Hagrid's) tenure at Hogwarts.
Well, surprise, surprise. J.K. answered that question clearly and unequivocally in The Half-Blood Prince. Riddle killed his Muggle father and grandparents when he was 16.
How did I not remember that?
It just goes to show how detailed and complex Rowling's magical world is. Over the course of the seven novels, she really did cover it all.
