Oh, right, =this= is what I was thinking of.  The "yet" suggests 
Harry will discover more about them but that doesn't mean he'll do it 
in OoP.

I vote for the prefects' bathroom--though I'm afraid if Harry learns 
more about it it will probably be because he's a prefect, and I'd 
rather he didn't become one.  

And, to solve another problem, its magical properties include 
allowing boys and girls to use it at the same time without seeing 
each other.  ;-)

Dave, the "new magical world" thing comes from the second Scholastic 
interview, IIRC (which I frequently do not).
