There seems to be a growing expectation among fans that the Chamber 
of Secrets holds, or held, more than just a Basilisk. Its very name
endorses the idea. Secrets - plural. Some expect that JKR will return
us to the Chamber in a future volume, and there is that tantalising
hint that she nearly gave away the key to the story in CoS. Enough
there to attract any red-blooded theoriser.

When did she say this, could you please point me to this, honestly. 
I would like to read it.

And possession is how you do it. An Heir inherits possessions ('scuse
the pun) and the first to enter gets possessed. Can't have some
do-gooder ruining Salazars little plan, can we? So there was 
something in there that trapped whoever entered and took them over 
for Salazar's own ends.

Andrew
Since when is Salazar so evil. Didn't Dumbledore specifically say 
that Godric and Salazar were best friends? I don't think that 
Salazar was truly evil, he just had no respect for muggle borns, 
thought of them as sub-wizard. Maybe he didn't have the intent to 
kill the muggle borns. Just to scare them off. If im wrong, tell me 
please.

I can envisage a brisk and bloody battle taking place on Hogwart's
boundaries, and we all think Tom/Voldy is trying to get in to get at
Harry, but actually Tom's suddenly realised he has to get in to get
to the dragon under Hogwart's first, and kill it, in order to finally
vanquish his oldest and deepest foe, Dumbledore.
         <snip>
Needless to say, our trusty hero will be the only one who can
possibly defend DD and Hogwarts against this dastardly threat, and he
will obligingly leap into the fray at some inopportune moment. But in
killing off Tom, DD knows that Harry may well kill off himself,
because of the transfer of powers that happened at Godric's Hollow.
There is also a good chance the dragon will kill them both anyway, it
being pretty terrifying, and not very particular when its attacked.

Andrew
Nice bit of fanfiction. Does it make any sense to the HP plot? Do 
you think JKR would build all of this up, have her favorite 
character go through such pain, and not even be the 'one' that 
matters. Don't forget the prophecy.

Carolyn said
So, another pesky moral dilemma for DD, to let Voldy live or die ??
What's the best thing for the WW ? For Harry ? For himself ? No
wonder he thinks there are things worse than death.

Andrew
The fat of the wizarding world isn't in the hands of Dumbledore, 
Dumbledore knows that. The fat of the world is in Harry. Harry will 
be more powerfull that Dumbledore eventually. Be it with the aid of 
the power in the department of mysteries.
