Carol responds:
I'm not going to respond to the rant, which I disagree with in every
respect, but I do want to say that only a Parselmouth could find and
open the Chamber of Secrets (I'm not counting a possessed
eleven-year-old, who certainly didn't find it on her own). Harry has
powers that no one else, not even Dumbledore has, acquired through the
rebounded AK in Godric's Hollow.

Carol, who doesn't see the adults as fools and finds them more
interesting than the children
