  Sorry if this has been said, but yahoo has that notorious search
engine  and I can't find anything on it.  If you would have seen the
basilisk through a window? No.  Just as Justin Finch-Fletchley didn't
die looking straight through Nearly Headless Nick, and Collin Creevey
didn't die when he saw it through the camera lens.  Why then was
Myrtle killed when viewing the basilisk straight through her glasses
(CS 16)?  Basically, Myrtle shouldn't have died, she should only have
been petrified because of her glasses just as the camera and Nick
saved the other two.
