>From inside the story, the name doesn't make sense. (imho) The legend says Slytherin left a monster in a hidden chamber. And somewhere along the line, it developed the name, "Chamber of Secrets." If the legend had been that Slytherin had a chamber that he used to practice his Dark Magic, and write his notes, and he left a monster in the chamber when he left, and maybe his notes are still there too---then Chamber of Secrets makes sense.
>From outside the story I can make JKR's name of Chamber of Secrets fits because she left some little goodies there.
I think I'm the only one who is bothered by the name....That and Lily's letter.
