* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'' the snake in the zoo winking at Harry. Snakes don't have eyelids.
** For that matter, he's talking to a snake, despite the fact snakes can't hear very well. Riddle also says in the ''Chamber of Secrets'' movie about the Basilisk being able to hear Harry, though [[Science Marches On]] with the hearing (it's now known that snakes ''can'' hear, though not in the same way we do) and the Basilisk is a fictional species. In this case, [[A Wizard Did It]].
** And then there's how the voice in the pipes kept ranting about "blood" and about ripping/tearing its prey. If the basilisk were anything like a real snake, it ought to swallow its prey ''whole'', with little or no blood shed, especially if it kills its food with its deadly gaze.
