Hi All,
I just reread GoF again ( I don't know how often I have before, 
lot's<g>) and came across something curious.- it must have been 
discussed before, but not since I joined the group, so I'll sned it 
anyway:
When Frank was arrested, because he was accused of the riddle's 
murder, he said he had seen a "teenage boy" nobody else had seen.
A teenage boy is, IMO, any way between 14( below I'd call them kids) 
and let's say 17 years old ( afterwards I'd call them young adults ).
In an interview JKR said Prof.McGonagall is 65 in GoF, which means she 
too must have been around 15 when the Riddles are murdered! They must 
have been in school together! Knowing JKR's talent for little hints 
with big effects probably even in the same year. If Slytherins and 
Griffindors ( I know it's not confirmed but Mc.Gonagall *is* a 
Griffindor!!)had as much lessons together as they do now, she might 
know young-Voldie pretty well!
Am I making any sense?

As to the new rooms, what about snape's office? Or Hagrid's hut? There 
has never been any magic (except for the creatures) in there, but who 
knows?
