SSSusan:
But Harry *isn't* the Heir of Slytherin.  So I guess what Harry was 
doing was opening the Chamber, whereas Tom unsealed it.  At least 
that's the only way it makes sense to me.  I asked in another post 
what would have happened if Harry had happened into Myrtle's 
bathroom *before* Diary!Tom unsealed the Chamber and had happened to 
hiss "Open it" to the faucet in Parseltongue.  Presumably, since he 
*isn't* the Heir of Slytherin, the sink would not have budged?
