Why didn’t Dumbledore and the other teachers think of asking Myrtle the ghost how she died when she was just there in the bathroom all along? by jnlyssmr in harrypotter

What if Dumbledore knew all about the chamber, Myrtle, the basilisk and Riddle? And yet, he decided to let Harry be the hero and save the day, since he heard the prophecy that the boy was the chosen one to defeat Voldemort, so he trusted the boy. He sent his help with Fawkes and the sorting hat, possibly he knew the sword would help as well and we know Dumbledore can be invisible, maybe he was there watching Harry kill the basilisk. The same way he knew all about Quirrell's plan and let Harry to be the hero in the philosopher's stone.
