I was re-reading HPATCOS last night and wondered how did Salazar 
Slytherin plan for the basillisk to only kill muggle born witches and 
wizards.  Surely the basillisk would just kill anyone who happened to 
look at it as it searched for muggle borns.  The book does say that 
Ginny controlled by Tom riddle was setting the basillisk on muggle 
borns specifically, but that doesn't seen satisfactory to me.  Any 
ideas?

 

Well, snakes have an organ on the roof of the mouth, with which they can sense smells by touching it with the tongue. Some other snakes can see in infrared. I suppose the basilisk being a magical creature can probably tell more things than an ordinary snake. Perhaps a Muggle-born, from a pure blood wizard??????????
