Weirdly enough, I was just about to reply to your first post on this
subject. Now, *that* is certainly a brand new speculation - I don't
think I've ever seen someone propose it before. 

I am curious why you thought (at least when you reached the end of that
book and were familiar with the AK) that Voldemort had taken the
Basilisk - a giant snake! - out of the castle dungeon in Scotland,
traveled at least a hundred or so miles with it, either had it with him
or hidden away while he was skulking around in broad daylight, and then
brought it into the house without disturbing the furniture or leaving a
trail of mud and dirt on the floor. Especially when we know that a
wizard with a modicum of power can point a wand at someone, say two
words, and kill that person.

I'm not trying to disparage your conclusion here - I'm just trying to
see how you came up with it, because I find it surprisingly intriguing.
