This one has always puzzled me, though.  I haven't had an 
explanation that quite convinces me that something's not wrong 
here.  (And I *like* and typically *trust* DD, but this one seems 
fishy....)  If Hermione figured out what she did, and Harry & Ron 
were smart enough to go to Myrtle and ask about her death, WHY 
didn't DD/Dippet/others on staff think to ask Myrtle at the time she 
became a ghost?  I mean, the death had just happened, why not at 
least go and ASK her about it?  She seemed happy enough to tell her 
story to Harry & Ron.  Couldn't wise DD have figured out what H/R/H 
did?

Granted, he might still have had difficulty opening the chamber [is 
the parseltongue required to open the SINK entrance or the serpent 
DOOR down below?], but it's apparently the case that DD never even 
asked Myrtle.

SSSusan:
Then again, maybe this bit explains it away in your opinion....
