What happened to Salazar Slytherin? We don't know. We are told that

Mandy here:
I've been mulling on the unification of Houses, LV's ambitions, and
your very interesting theory of LV really being possessed by Salazar
Slytherin and I started to think about what could be Salazar's
ultimate goal in building the Chamber and enabling the ability to
possess a worthy body.
It seems to me an awful lot of work to go to just to force Hogwarts
to close by killing handful of presumptuously magical children.
Don't you think? There has to be a grander plan than that.
What we do know is Salazer had the desire to only admit pureblooded
children into the school, deeming all others not worthy of an
education in magic. And we know Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw
opposed this course of action, forcing Salazar in to the position of
abandoning Hogwarts all together. Above, you propose that Salazar
suspected he would have to leave, finished the chamber anyway
sealing himself, or a spirit of himself inside, along with a few
other nasty secrets yet to be discovered. A 1000 or so years passed
and Tom came along and was the ideal vessel for Salazar to continue
and/or finish his noble work. Sound good to me but I suppose my
question is then what exactly is Salazar Slytherin's noble work?
As I said above it's got to be more that closing down Hogwarts
School. A noble goal for an Evil Overlord is to take over the world
as we know it, and that seems to be Voldemorts plan. So with that in
mind how can the Chamber be used to assist Salazar/Voldemort achieve
that goal?
What if The Chamber is a catalyst to destroy Hogwarts and all it
contains? After all, it contains all the off-spring of the WW in
Britain right? One sap and the next generation is entirely
destroyed, mudbloods, halfbloods, and the purebloods disgusting
enough to fraternize with them, leaving the WW ready to start anew
with only Salazars/Voldemorts chosen purebloods.
I know it's a bit extreme and a very thin, but it's a start and I'd
love to hear anyone else's thoughts on Slytherin's Noble Work.
Cheers and thanks for a really interesting new theroy Kneesy.
