I'm thinking something along those lines, too.  We'll have to wait 
until future books come out, as there just are not enough clues to 
make an airtight case.  But with Rowling's love of "meaningful" 
names, I think the fact that she keeps talking about the "Riddle 
House" is a hint:  there is a riddle about this house.  There's 
something about the whole scene at the opening of book 4 that is not 
what it seems - a riddle is something that fools us and puzzles us, 
and isn't obvious.  I think that we're going to find that that 
episode at the Riddle House is not what we thought it was.  Maybe 
even Tom Riddle was not named solely to form an anagram - maybe 
there's a riddle about his identity, too.
