| The questions about vanishing cabinet could be explained in this way:
|
| Peeves broke a vanishing cabinet. This vanishing cabinet was
| put in the room

|
| vanishing cabinets come in pairs (or more, that is particular
| vanishing
| cabinets are linked to each other)
|
| there is another vanishing cabinet in Hogwarts. This is the
| pair of the
| broken one and the one the twins used.

I don't think so.  References:
>From HBP:
1. He turned right past an enormous stuffed troll, ran on a short way, took
a left at the broken Vanishing Cabinet
in which Montague had got lost the previous year, finally pausing
beside a large cupboard that seemed to have had acid thrown
at its blistered surface.

2. (Malfoy): ""I had to mend that broken Vanishing Cabinet that
no one's used for years. The one Montague got lost in last year."

"Aaaah." Dumbledore's sigh was half a groan. He closed his eyes for a
moment. "That was clever. ... There is a pair, I take it?"

"In Borgin and Burkes," said Malfoy, "and they make a kind of passage
between them. Montague told me that when he was stuck in the Hogwarts one,
he was trapped in limbo but sometimes he could hear what was going on at
school, and sometimes what was going on in the shop, as if the cabinet was
traveling between them, but he couldn't make anyone hear him. ..."

So, yes, there is a pair...one at Hogwarts, one at B&B's.

[Storm]:
| As the 'pair' was broken the twins' victim could not get out
| but was stuck
| in vanishing cabinet purgatory (for want of a better word).

| storm, very tired and concrete, hoping the OOP reference
| doesn't refer to
| the broken vanishing cabinet because the theory will then
| fall to pieces.

[Lee]:
See my above refs and tell us what you think.

[storm]
theory - completely blown apart! Ah, the tragedy!!

*sigh*
