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.
