Leave my plot holes alone! I need them for ventilation.
Haha just kidding :)
Originally I wrote the last chapter with the premise of the diary having access to the other Voldemort's memories but due to a number of comments about it I would like to propose this alternative explanation;
Voldemort left the diary in Lucius Malfoys care which shows that during the first war it had been back in his possession. Everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes and Voldemort obviously couldn't relax and joke with his Death eaters because that would dissolve his image as the all powerful Dark Lord so he probably shared most of his more human conversations with the diary since the one person he could trust would have been himself.
So that would be why Tom knows stories about Lucius, and when he says 'I saw him' he means the other him saw it.
Plot hole loosely filled! :)
Personally I would be more concerned about his knowledge of the phrase Bippity Boppity Boo but I'm just going to ask that we all let that one slide. ;)
