I was thinking, what if the book was Voldemort's? If he was a year or two ahead of Snape and Snape got his book second-hand? So much of the story centers around the book, maybe it's more important than we think. I'm just trying to figure the ages of all these people. V and Hagrid were in school at the same time, in the same year I think. And Hagrid knew James from school, but did they meet before or after he took up groundskeeper? If not, then wouldn't James and the gang been at school the same time as Tom? How much older is he than they? (weird, thinking of this horrible people being a young man...bit like imagining what Marilyn Manson used to be like) That would tell us if it's possible the book was able to belong to Lord V. Just a thought.
