Ryan:

Being pureblood offers no protection from the basilisk's stare.  
Also, judging by the wording used to describe Myrtle's death, it 
seems likely that Myrtle was killed simply because she spotted the 
basilisk and might've identified Tom if she got away.

Remember, Myrtle was killed in the bathroom with the hidden entrance 
to the Chamber of Secrets.  She probably just happened to be in 
there when Tom and the basilisk were coming or going.

Ryan, who hopes that Myrtle and Harry are not related.  Otherwise, 
the GoF scene in the prefect's bathroom was really icky.
