You know, with all this talk about how Chamber of Secrets is so much foreshadowing (anyone got a link to an actual quote from someone who would know that actually says so, BTW?) has anyone actually taken the time to list out the things that are different about COS to spawn some thinking about what might be foreshadowed?
Off the top of my head I'm thinking:
Harry Potter is exposed to non Dursley muggles.
Someone purporting to help Harry Potter does him harm (late to school, broken arm)
Someone who is supposed to be in the know isn't (Lockhart)
The pureblood/mudblood rift is played up here more than anywhere else.
Dumbledore is forced to leave Hogwarts.
People think Harry is a bad guy.
Voldemort returns.
Harry kills a servant of Voldemort (the basilisk) with help from a servant of Dumbledore (Fawkes).
Harry frees a servant of a harsh master.
The servant then protects Harry from that harsh master.
I think a lot of these things have some long term potential. I'm sure I missed something. Thoughts?
