Because of his ability to speak Parseltongue and his link to Voldemort through the piece of his soul in him, Harry Potter could have been able to control the Basilisk during their encounter in the Chamber of Secrets, thus making its defeat a lot easier for the young wizard.
This obedience depended on the relationship between the Basilisk and the Parselmouth. Tom Riddle was the only one who could command Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk, while Harry Potter had no control over her, as he had been warned.
The Basilisk could only be controlled by the Heir of Slytherin, Tom Riddle. Other Parselmouths (such as Harry Potter) had no control over her, though they still could understand her. Aragog (a rare Acromantula) was accused of being the monster of the chamber by Tom Riddle which sent Hagrid to Azkaban.
The only way to destroy the Horcrux inside Harry is by killing Harry, which is the equivalent of destroying beyond repair. Harry didn't died in the chamber of secrets because although the Basiliks is poisonous Fawkes saved him. So an alive Harry means that the Horcrux is still there.
Why did the Basilisk Fang not destroy Harry's Horcrux?
Fawkes healed him w/his tears. Yall this question is easily answered by the fact that he didn't die and was healed by fawkes. bc harry has to actually die in order for it to be destroyed....
Harry COULD HAVE controlled the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets
Did everyone know Harry killed the basilisk?
Ron, Mrs/Mr Weasley, McGonagall, Ginny, Dumbledore, and Harry were in the room when Harry explained how he had killed the Basilisk. Hermione probably knows since she figured out the Basilisk, so I guess she's gonna hear Harry killed it later. That gives us just a handful of people.
Basilisk was Slytherin's monster, who can be controlled only by his descendent. Tom riddle was his direct descendent. While Harry got his ability to speak parseltounge because he had a part of Voldemort's soul in him.
Wearing glasses would not protect a person from the fatal effect of the Basilisk's stare, because glasses still allowed one's line of vision to connect directly and clearly with the serpent's eyes, unlike looking in a mirror or through a camera.
Did the Basilisk bite Harry in Chamber of Secrets?
Among the many questions floating in the minds of Harry Potter fans was why the horcrux in Harry Potter wasn't destroyed when he was bitten by the basilisk in the second book/film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – after all, he used the creature's fang to destroy another horcrux (Tom Riddle's diary).
How did Hermione avoid getting killed by the Basilisk?
She knows that a direct glance from the Basilisk can instantly kill, so she navigates Hogwarts using a mirror to peer around corners. Ultimately, her ingenuity saves her life. She does indeed come across the Basilisk and is only petrified instead of killed thanks to her hand mirror.
It makes sense that only a parseltounge could understand the basilisk or another snake, but people can hear snakes hiss. During the Dueling Club meeting, the other students can hear the conjured snake hiss and hear Harry hiss when he talks to it.
Why didn't Harry use Parseltongue to control the basilisk?
Of course, at that moment, Harry Potter didn't know there was a piece of Voldemort's soul in him, so he wouldn't have even tried to communicate with the Basilisk, but had he tried and succeeded at it, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets would have ended very differently.
Dumbledore. Keep in mind that although Harry was an extraordinary wizard he was inexperienced and only in his second year. Dumbledore is a much more experienced wizard beating Grindlewald and being a master of the Elder Wand. Dumbledore could easily destiny the basilisk.
Opening the stall's door, she was about to yell at Riddle to go away, when the Basilisk stared at Myrtle and her eyes met with the monster's. Since looking into a Basilisk's eyes is a fatal act, Myrtle was killed instantly and her body fell to the bathroom floor, becoming Tom's first victim.
He could but why would he? He isn't stupid. Anyone who looks into the basilisk's eyes will die instantly. Except Voldemort will not die because of his horcruxes.
What he saw was the basilisk's shadow while Fawkes was piercing its eyes. After that, when the basilisk's eyes were punctured, Harry could look at them as they had probably lost their magical properties that could kill.
There is no exception that the heir of Slytherin would survive after looking at the eyes of a Basilisk. Voldemort might survive later when he had created those Horcruxes as it would not allow him to die completely even if he looked directly at a Basilisk.
Newt Scamander classified the basilisk as a wizard killer that couldn't be domesticated. Yet, Herpo was able to control his. This had nothing to do with the fact that he was the breeder, and Harry Potter proved that being a Parselmouth wasn't enough - it must have been a Horcrux.
When Nagini bit Harry at Godric's Hollow while coming out of her disguise as Bathilda Bagshot, it is unknown how dittany was capable of stopping the bleeding, when Arthur and Snape both bled unstoppably, with Snape actually dying from it.
Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor (though his powers have been bound by his father when he was a baby), Neville is the Heir of Hufflepuff, Meghan (OFC, daughter of Sirius) is the Heir of Ravenclaw.
Although it was briefly speculated in Chamber of Secrets, Harry is not, in fact, a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin, though he is a distant cousin of Lord Voldemort, as both are descended from the Peverell family. Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets to allow his heir to purge the school of Muggle-borns.
Shortly after the term begins Harry starts hearing a mysterious voice saying, 'Kill, kill,' which only he can hear. He then finds the caretaker's cat Mrs Norris hanging upside down apparently dead. Fortunately she is not dead just 'petrified'.
