Ok, I HAVE IT!!!!!!  Dumbledore mentioned it . . . 

GOF p 417 - 418:

"Oh I would never dream of assuming I know all Hogwarts' secrets, 
Igor," said Dumbledore amicably.  "Only this morning, for instance, I 
took a wrong turning on the way to the bathroom and found myself in a 
beautifully proportioned room I have never seen before, containing a 
really rather magnificent collection of chamber pots.  When I went 
back to investigate more closely, I discovered that the room had 
vanished.  But I must keep an eye out for it.  Possibly it is only 
accessible at five-thirty in the morning.  Or it may only appear at 
the quarter moon -- or when the seeker has an exceptionally full 
bladder."

Ok, and seeing as he went back to look for it, we can almost assume 
he went to find his own bathroom, then used it, then went back to 
look for all those "chamber pots" which who knows?  Maybe they're not 
really chamber pots ;o)  but some sort of pots/vases which contain 
something much much more???

Anyone care to agree/disagree with me here?

Me:  Pretty close local don't you think?  I'm sure it's all related 
and nothing to worry about :o)
