Also, where was brave Professor Snape in COS?  Why 
 would he let the obviously incompetent Lockhart accompany Harry and

 I can't remember but I'd put my money on Snape's Patronus being the 
 spider.

Just a quick response (and if I'm off here my apologies but I've been sick in bed the last few days) Snape didn't "let" Lockhart accompany Harry and Ron that I remember. Weren't they in fact eavesdropping on the professors discussing the Chamber of Secrets with DD and they followed Lockhart to his classroom or office or whatever it was so they could empart on him their knowledge about the monster and where the chamber entrance might be etc? I believe that Snape et al didn't believe Lockhart knew where the entrance was nor how to kill the monster and were going to let his incompetance finally show itself clearly, but then the boys came upon him as he prepared for his escape and took him at wandpoint to check out their idea of where the chamber entrance was.
I could be off on some of that, but that's how I remember it
