In another thread, I was asking whether Harry *unsealed* the Chamber
or merely *opened* it after Diary!Tom did the necessary, only-the-
Heir-of-Slytheran-can-do-it unsealing. Well, what if Harry DID use
his parseltongue to actually UNSEAL the Chamber? Even though he's
not, himself, the Heir of Slytherin and *shouldn't* be able to do
so? What if he WAS able to do so because some of Voldy/Tom is *in*
Harry as a result of the failed GH attack?
*If* Harry could unseal the Chamber because a bit of the Heir of
Slytherin is inside him, maybe there are other things he can do
because Voldy/Tom became a part of him? Maybe he can actually
CONTROL Voldy in a way he doesn't yet even realize?"
-----------------
Not balderdash at all IMO. I often wandered myself, but not on account of
the chamber. Until JKR proves me wrong, I'm set on believing their
connection is a completely two-way bridge. And Voldemort didn't just put in
some extra thoughts in Harry's mind; when Voldemort was laughing, Harry
laugh (fiscally, uncontrollably). Why not the other way?
As for the chamber, maybe the "unsealing" was figurative. Meaning he alone
could find it - not a secret-keeper kind of finding; a "the school was
searched many times and no such chamber was found" kind of finding. Harry
only found it using deduction (playing Sherlock Holmes).
