I'm a little confused as to what you mean ... could you explain it further?  

While *I* was watching the movie, I couldn't help but wonder (I really hope 
that this fits in as canon!) how they brought Nearly Headless Nick back to 
his original state.  He's a ghost and in CoS, at the Deathday Party, it was 
made fairly clear that ghosts cannot eat.  How did they give him the potion 
if he cannot eat or drink?  Are we told?  Does anyone care?  *shrugs* I do.

(Who is also wondering what Salazar Slytherin was doing in a girl's 
bathroom.)

Oh!  Thought.  Maybe it *wasn't* originally a girl's bathroom!  Maybe that's 
the place Harry's been!  As I was watching the movie, I kept thinking "Why 
was Salazar in the girl's bathroom?  How could he get to the Chamber of 
Secrets without running into students?" So maybe it only appears to be a 
bathroom......or maybe I'm crazy!
