"It's reasonable, although within definite limits, that a Basilisk
could distinguish between Muggle and magic, but I can't see any reason
why that would be a natural adaptation of a Basilisk.

Just a thought."


DuffyPoo:

Could it not have been possible for Salazar Slytherin, the 'twisted old loony,' to put a spell on the snake to make it able to distinguish between Muggle and magic?  Just another thought.
