Now I interject:
I believe the Death Chamber affected the four people it did because 
of the things that have happened to them in their lives. No, Ginny 
has not "seen death" but her possession by Lord Voldemort qualifies 
her as a player. Someone who's been to the dark side and back, 
someone who's physically be very close to death. Remember how 
bloodless she looked when Harry finally found her on the floor of the 
Chamber of Secrets? Remember how Tom Riddle said she wasn't dead yet 
but soon would be? So I think that's the reason she was drawn to the 
curtain. I just listened to that section yesterday afternoon and was 
yet again knocked off my feet by the multi-layered subtleties of the 
MOM events. I know so many moaned that it was just a sell-out action-
packed movie-style bit of writing but no. It goes beyond that. All 
kinds of things are going on but so quickly that your first 
impression may come out a bit askew.
