Thanks for picking up on that... as I was sitting back and thinking about the 
other adventures we know that most people know a bit about what transpired 
between Quirell|Voldie and Harry. I would assume- and we all know about those 
pecky assumptions- that at some point, bits of the story about the Chamber 
were revealed to Mr and Mrs Weasley.  in GoF, it is pretty obvious at the 
Burrow before the Quidditch cup that only HHR know about Sirius... 

Yet, I would think that at some point, Ron will explain the details he knows 
to his family. Lets, Dumbledore do it.... I foresee great secret meetings 
between Dumbledore and his supporters in dealing with Voldemort.... Perhaps 
what is necessary for them to know will be explained then?

Althoug, if I were a parent and my child knew what Ron knows about Sirius, I 
would most likely ask him. Before Dumbledore asks Sirius to reveal himself, 
there is a reason behind the secrecy that HHR keep. But, with his 
transformation from dog form, there has to be explanation to those who are 
unaware of the circumstances....

Now my mind is cluttered even more...

But, on the subject of who knows what... I think only HHR know everything 
about their adventures and they choose which information to share with others 
and what not to share. 

Hoping this is somewhat addressed in Book 5
