[HPforGrownups] Return to the Chamber of Secrets?

Yes, that is true.  It does sound like something more.  Would be a perfect
place for a one on one battle, as they are the only two Parselmouths, can
only get in there to begin with.  Scary though, I agree.

One other thing I picked up about the scene there.  Somehow he knew about
his (Tom) future as a 16 year old memory, as he asks about the attack and
why.

One thing just occurred to me, why doesn't he mention Harry joining his father
too, they are both dead, or maybe James didn't count in the insult as he was
supposedly a pureblood.

Last not on this.  When Dumbledore is talking to Harry afterwards he tells him
that Harry has the traits that the Slytherin the wizard prized in his 
handpicked
students.  This clashes with the fact that he pulled the GG owned sword out
of the sorting hat.  I have been wondering for a little while if Harry is 
not the
blend of those two houses.
