Percy claims that he is penalizing 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 prefects, 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 saidsays in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 28|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] that prefects 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, a prefect in ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'', agreed that prefects couldlacked notthe authority to dock House points. One can be sure that if Draco were able to dock House points from Gryffindors, he would, andthough later, as a member of theDolores Umbrige's Inquisitorial Squad, he wasacquires allowedthat to,power and didfreely executes it. In this particular case, however, it makes more sense that Percy is merely 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 [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Marvolo Riddle|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. 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. 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. Ron, however, attributes his limited ability to simply mimicry ofmimicking what Harry had done to open Slytherin's locket.

This conceit will be furthered mirrored later by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], who, smugly believing only he knows about the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Room of Requirement|Room of Requirement]] at Hogwarts, uses it to hide a Horcrux. Dobby, however, will suggest to Harry (in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 18|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']]) that he use this room for his secret [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]] meetings, which he does. Dobby gives the impression that this room is well-known to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf|House-elf]] population of Hogwarts.

While Mr. Filch is consumed with bitterness over being a Squib, not all such non-magical persons are so resentful; presumably some even marry Witcheswitches or Wizardswizards 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 since his arrival 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.

Another recurring theme throughout the series that Filch's character focuses on is that innocent and vulnerable people (and non-humans) are easily accused of and punished for crimes they never committed. Here, Filch, in a rush to judgment and already biased against Harry (and most students), claims Harry petrified his cat, Mrs. Norris, even though there is no evidence other than Harry's early arrival on the scene. Fortunately for Harry, the Hogwarts faculty dismiss Filch's unfounded accusations. However, later in the series, Harry will again find himself implicated in various incidents based on faulty evidence or accusations that he is an attention-seeking liar by an indifferent and complacent Ministry of Magic. This injustice later extends to other characters, who, betrayed or manipulated by someone, are disbelieved and/or punished for crimes they never committed. Harry continually finds himself confronting a legal system that seems bent on obtaining image-enhancing results rather than uncovering inconvenient truths. He will also learn that individuals who wield power and wealth are usually considered more credible than their everyday counterparts, often enabling them to influence events to their advantage. Readers can also see that merely making an accusation can often bias others into accepting it as bona fide fact, as when students almost immediately begin drawing pro and con opinions regarding Harry as the Heir of Slytherin.
