Julia:
Hmm...I've thought that Ginny didn't open her eyes in the chamber... That's 
why she couldn't get petrified. But I don't have my books with me so I can't 
check.

It's true that Ginny was being simply used but then why did Tom say that she 
set the basilisk on them? It was 'the moment of truth' so it was no need to 
lie. If he said so he must have told her to kill some mudbloods. If she didn't 
successed in killing any of them then it couldn't be coincident. And that's why 
I think she was doing it on purpose (just petriefied not killed) But I don't 
know how she did it.
