Riddle repeatedly says the Diary contains Tom's memory, which is what Harry sees and talks to. However, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], Professor Dumbledore points out that Riddle's Diary does far more than a memory should be able to - it can independently think and respond, possess a person to do its bidding, and it can sap a person's life force to create a body for itself. This strongly indicates that the Diary is actually is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], a soul shard that renders a person immortal as long as the Horcrux remains intact. Or rather, this ''was'' a Horcrux until Harry destroyed it. This is not Voldemort's only Horcrux, however.

There are several other useful items mentioned. Thinking Harry will shortly be dead, Riddle mentions his grandfather's name, Marvolo, something Voldemort had taken pains to conceal. While this is not useful to Harry, Dumbledore, who also knows it, uses it to unearth another Horcrux: given the approximate age, and Marvolo being an uncommon name in the Wizarding world, plus the name Riddle associated with a Wizardwizard-caused death in Tom's youth, Dumbledore is able to locate and retrieve a Horcrux hidden where Tom's mother lived. Tom also mentions what is likely his greatest shame: that despite being Slytherin's last heir, he is descended from a Muggle, one of the very half-bloods he so despises. Harry is able to cause some dissension among the Death Eater ranks he faces in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 35|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], just before the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Battle at the Department of Mysteries|Battle in the Ministry]] when he reveals that fact.
