Me (Gomes Moor):
I think I'm falling for Magic Dishwasher. I want to be convinced. I 
think it's the only theory that can fill some major plot holes. But 
I'm also a skeptic by nature, and I have many doubts. For instance, 
if Dumbledore knows about the chamber, the basilisk and that Harry is 
a parselmouth, why did he let things get so far out of hand, risking 
the life of his students?
