flint? - vanishing cabinet - I don't think so

[storm]

Hi all

The questions about vanishing cabinet could be explained in this way:

Peeves broke a vanishing cabinet. This vanishing cabinet was put in the room
of requirement.

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.

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). Think of it like
the floo network, only instead of being able to get off at any fireplace
only certain stops are permitted.

Vanishing cabinet purgatory is not 'in' hogwarts so the character could
appareate out of it.

Malfoy's 'fix' of the vanishing cabinet was to realign the one in the room
of requirement to make the one at the shop it's 'pair'.

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.
