While Harry, Hermione and Ron are examining the area where Mrs. Norris was found, they notice some strangely-behaving spiders. Ron admits he fears spiders, which is confirmed later in this book, and also in the next two books: by his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Boggart|Boggart]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban|''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'']], and his behavior during [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Mad-Eye Moody’s]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Unforgivable Curses|Unforgivable Curse]] demonstration in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 14|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']]. The spiders' peculiar behavior here gives a clue about the monster Slytherin concealed within the Chamber.

Percy penalizes Harry and Ron House points despite [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Prefects|Prefects]] lacking this power. It is possible, however, that anyone challenging Percy's over-inflated ego and self-importance, as Ron does here, causes Percy to react by threatening that he is docking House points. It may also be that the Prefectsprefects, reporting any misbehavior to the House Head, can recommend docking points. While that may be what Percy intended, technically, he apparently has overstepped his bounds. In an interview, the author stated that Percy is more likely to be right than Ron, who said in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 28|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] that Prefectsprefects could not dock House points; she also reinforced this statement [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=40 on her official web site]. Against this, however, we must mention that Draco Malfoy, then a Prefectprefect, agreed that Prefectsprefects could not dock House points. One can be sure that if Draco were able to dock House points from Gryffindors, he would, and as a member of the Inquisitorial Squad he was allowed to, and did. In this particular case, it makes more sense that Percy is overstepping his boundaries through over-officiousness, a very Percy-like trait, than to have Draco later refrain from abusing a power he has been given.

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 effectively speak Parseltongue. And while it could technically be argued that Voldemort's small soul portions residing within Harry and Ginny—Harry through his scar and Ginny through the Diary—gave them this ability, Ron had no such connection. Also, considering how interconnected the many Wizarding families are, some, including Harry and the Weasleys, could be descended from Salazar Slytherin's family. Even though this connection may be quite diluted and even indirect, it may still be enough to open the Chamber.
