Hermione's ongoing unbending is shown here inby her willingnessdecision to raid Snape's stores for the ingredients they need for the Polyjuice potion. Her willingness to break the rules shouldis nothardly be much of a surprisesurprising to the readerreaders, who has beenhave watchingseen her getgrow steadily less stiff through this and the previous book; however, it is quite a shock to Ron, who clearly continues to believe that Hermione is entirely rule-bound, despite evidence to the contrary.
 
The Dueling Club shows us Gilderoy Lockhart's continuing ineptness, as he is unable to block aSnape's simple spell from Snape, stop the student duels, or eliminate the snake that Draco had produced. By now, we should be starting to wonderwondering whether Gilderoy is a wizard at all, or merely a very good self-promoter. It is curious that Hermione is still so apparently taken with him. Snape sees through Lockhart, of course, sees through Lockhart;and Ron observes that if Snape had looked at him like he was looking atdid Lockhart, Ron would have run for cover.
 
In the dueling club, weeveryone also learnlearns that Harry can talk to snakes, andthough thatreaders had seen this when Harry and the Dursleys visited the zoo in Book 1. It is aan veryextremely rare achievementability, linked only to Salazar Slytherin and his descendants. Given that the school is now fearing the ongoing depredations offears "the Heir of Slytherin's" ongoing depredations, this is a major concern, of course; proof ofthat thethere is a connection between Salazar Slytherin and Harry could not be any plainer, and Harry, who is unsure of his own ancestry, cannot disprove even to himself that he could be the Heir. The only mitigating factor that we, as readers, have is the knowledge that Harry himself was not presentabsent when the petrifications happened. Harry knows this as well, but cannotis unable to prove it in the two cases preceding the Dueling Club, or the one following.
 
This whole episode throws Harry into a great deal of confusion. The Sorting Hat wanted to putplace him into Slytherin house; he remembers quite plainly that the only reason it didn'tdid not was thatbecause he didn'tasked wantnot to be there. Obviously, the Hat had recognized the link to Slytherin that is now made manifest by Harry's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parseltongue|Parseltongue]] ability. YetThough Harry has come to enjoyenjoys being a Gryffindor;, is he there under false pretenses? This uncertainty, to a greater or lesser extent, will likely prey on Harry for the remainder of the book.
