One must wonder about Professor Binns' vehement denial that the Chamber of Secrets exists. We will learn that the Chamber had been opened some fifty years previously, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Armando Dippet|Headmaster Dippet]] considered closing the school as a result. While it is possible this was before Professor Binns joined the school, that seems unlikely; Binns' apparent refusal to teach anything later than about the nineteenth century argues for his having been a teacher for many more years than a mere fifty.
 
There is an interesting side note to this. Professor Binns tells the class that, according to the legend, only the true Heir of Slytherin can open the Chamber of Secrets. This part, at least, will be proved wrong. Not only does Harry open it later in this book by speaking [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parseltongue|Parseltongue (snake language)]], but presumably Ginny Weasley, controlled by Tom Riddle's memory, must have been instructed by Riddle on how to open it. Much later in the series, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 31|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], Ron will also open the Chamber by repeating the same Parseltongue words he heard Harry speaking when he unlatched Slytherin's Locket [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]]. This suggests a great conceit by Slytherin, in that he apparently believed that only his heirs would be able to speak Parseltongue. This conceit will be mirrored later by Voldemort, who, in Book 7, smugly believing only he knows about the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, uses it to hide a Horcrux. Dobby, however, will have already suggested to Harry (in ''Order of the Phoenix'') that he use this room for his secret Dumbledore's Army meetings, which he does.
 
While Mr. Filch is consumed with bitterness over being a Squib, not all such non-magical persons are so resentful; presumably some even marry Witches or Wizards and can produce magical offspring, just as a Muggle married to a magical spouse can. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]], Harry's neighbor, is also a Squib who, unbeknown to Harry just yet, has been helping to guard him at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]]. It will be learned much later that she also belongs to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Order of the Phoenix|Order of the Phoenix]], a secret organization dedicated to fighting Voldemort. While Squibs are often encouraged to integrate themselves into Muggle society, Mrs. Figg has apparently adjusted to her non-magical status and is useful to Dumbledore. She apparently ekes out a living in the Wizarding world by breeding her unusual cats, which may be [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Kneazle|Kneazles]] or cat-Kneazle crossbreeds, that she presumably sells to wizards. Hermione's cat, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crookshanks|Crookshanks]], that she purchases in the next book, is likely such a creature, and plays an important role in its plot.
