went off in my head...

Quirrel/Voldemort let the troll in, right? Which means he had to have had 
it under some sort of control, to get it into Hogwarts in the first place.

What if the troll was headed for the Chamber of Secrets? What if there was 
a 'aura' of sorts about the Chamber that attracted the troll, because it 
felt the same as the person who had summoned it? A bit like a hound 
scenting it's master."

Oh - was it the same bathroom as Myrtle's? Very interesting point if so. I actually don't remember, although it seems strange that Myrtle wasn't annoying HRH as they fought the troll if so. Maybe she had been flushed down to the lake?

Even if it was the same bathroom... maybe it was just headed for nice tasty Hermione-flesh... maybe it can smell people!
