In addition to what's already been mentioned, CoS gives us an 
extended intro to The Burrow (thus, a positive nurturing family as 
opposed to the hostility in which Harry was raised); the deepest 
glimpse so far into the world of the ghosts; the first mention of 
Azkaban; the first acting-out of the Wizard's duel (of pivotal 
importance to GoF's climax); and the introduction of Aragog - I have 
a feeling he, like the Centaurs (fellow FF inhabitants), will have 
some significant role to play in the future volumes.
