The Punishment Of A Bas Kohen

 ובת איש כהן כי תחל לזנות את אביה היא מחללת באש תישרף

If the reason זנות entails such a severe punishment is that it violates the honor of the father - why does it only apply to a בת כהן? It should apply to every daughter!!?

Where do we find that one is חייב מיתה for disgracing a parent??

The Gemara entertains the notion [hoping that the notion would have a good time] that the pasuk refers to חילול שבת b/c it is a "חילול". What is the special חילול of her father that inheres in זנות more than other aveiros - even חילול שבת?

Here!
