Pippin:
I had a thought about that --there are hints all through FBAWTFT that
the wizards are in the habit of using monsters as treasure guardians. 
Even way back in Book One Harry thinks there might be dragons
guarding Gringotts. Now suppose the basilisk was actually bestowed in 
the Chamber to guard some secret that Riddle never discovered at all?
 
And, like Goldilocks, it's still there...
