Hmm, I think Joe's got it right there, but what a fascinating idea!

So, OK... the Room of Requirement might only grant you a place where
you can do what you need to, but could that go partway toward
granting your wish? Could you find out information from it about what
you'd need to pull something off? Like would the veil appear if Harry 
wanted to talk to Sirius, or would some useful bit of info appear if he was
in an utter fury and determined to off Voldemort, about where he needed
to be to do so? Or can you only access the Room of Requirement when
you have everything you need to achieve what you want?

It's also interesting that it is not infallible, as the DA studies are discovered...
