 But I am sure of one thing, I for one will be eager to learn why it is called "Chamber 
of Secrets" even though the only Secret we know as coming out of it till now is 
Basilisk (not considering the great statue of SS). It must have something else than just 
a snake and statue.

Not a reply per se, but this little line inspired my mind to connect the imagery of the 
statue of slytherin opening it's mouth to let loose the great Basilisk and the imagery 
of the Dark Mark where the serpent is protruding from the mouth of  a skull.  Too 
similiar for a coincidence, I'm thinking.  And what do we know about mouths?  
Morsmordre (consume/eat death) is the incantation for the Dark Mark, a soul can be 
sucked out of a mouth by a Dementor (soul-searching kiss, anyone?) and of course 
the stigma of a parselmouth.  

I'm getting the feeling more and more that Harry and Voldemort are connected 
through their souls and that the thing that made Tom Riddle the Dark Lord is also 
what enables Harry to be The One.  And I also think it must go all the way back to 
Slytherin, and by necessity then, Gryffindor, too.
