As you said, it is difficult to understand why Professor Binns 
discounts the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, but surely this 
tells you something about his character.
To me it suggests that he is an ignorant old ghost, fed up of death 
who has to see something to believe it. As he says himself in the 
book, he is a history teacher who only deals in fact. This is a 
short summary of his character but it also tells you why he doesnt 
believe in the Chamber: he's never seen it and therefore in his mind 
it doesnt exist!

Dan!
