In COS, where Harry meets up with Tom Riddle in the Chamber, TR tells 
him that Ginny Weasley opened the Chamber......

Geoff again:
In the UK, reference to a map of the Underground would automatically 
make the reader think of the London Underground; these maps are 
almost iconic and nearly every road atlas or half-decent diary will 
have a copy. The only other Underground which might evoke a response 
would be the Glasgow Underground, but as any Glaswegian worth his/her 
salt would tell you, the line is a simple circle, so if Dumbledore 
had that map on his knee, he wouldn't be making so much fuss about it.
