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 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 says 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 lacked the authority to dock House points. One can be sure that if Draco were able to dock House points from Gryffindors, he would, though later, as a member of Dolores UmbrigeUmbridge's Inquisitorial Squad, he acquires that power and freely executesabuses 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.
 
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.
