Possession

I think this (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/90465) is quite an interesting post. The only thing I can think
of when it comes to the Chamber and the plumbing is that Tom had to
appeal to Slytherin so that the Basilisk could come out of his,
Slytherin's,  statue's mouth. I do expect that the mouth of that
statue leads to the plumbing ( which makes me think that Slytherin was
full of ... um... well you get the picture). Perhaps Tom took the road
of Slytherin, and that is how he learned about possession and perhaps
immortality. There is something about snakes and dragons in this story
that seems to be important, so I don't doubt that there is something
else going on with the Chamber, though a second basilisk seems boring
now that we have Voldie back in the flesh (if you want to call it
that). I have been doing some reading about snakes, and they seem to
represent immortality in ancient legends. As for Carolyn's dragon
theory, was that canon or filk? It was interesting, but you got me
feeling that I have missed something big about Smorg(?) and Dumbledore. 

I am pretty sure Slytherin left a big part of himself behind, aside
from his Monkey Boy Statue in the Chamber. I don't think it's
Slytherin's ghost, because they don't seem to be able to do much.
Peeves has more abilities than the ghosts, though the Bloody Baron
strangely enough scares the hell of him. So I don't think it would be
strange to have another sort of undead power in Hogwarts, though I
would think that DD would be able to banish it, as he does with
Peeves. Anyway, this has me wondering more and more about why
Dumbledore does not make certain changes. 

Maybe we need to look at Fantastic Beasts again to see if there are
any horrible monsters that we haven't run into yet. But I think we
will find something that was so obvious we will kick ourselves about
not putting it together.
