He not only had her under his control, he was practically draining her life-force from her. You are an idiot.Complete and utter lie. He possessed Harry in OOP. He possessed Quirrell in Sorcerer's stone. Neither of whom had a horcrux in their hands at the time.
She wasn't under complete control, that was why she was able to throw the book away in the first place, again Harry was able to fight back and kick him out and Quirrel wasn't a real possession, Tommy was just riding piggy back on his head.
At no point did Tommy boy show the ability to take control of people quickly and the only 2 examples that happened on screen involved the people being in possession of a horcrux.
