In book 5 we are offered several glimpses (via HP) of a strange
curtained room containing LV. When Snape and HP are practicing;
Snape asks HP what "that room" is doing in his head. Based on this
statement, we are led to believe that Snape (1) recognizes the room
and (2) therefore, has been to the room. All of this begs the
question, "where is this room and when was Snape there?"
LV's curtained room may be located in Malfoy's manor:
Afterall, something is there:
". . . and if the stories are true, you haven't sold me half of
what's hidden in your manor . . ." (Mr. Borgin, COS, p. 33)
And everyone thinks Snape visits the Malfoys to collect information
(see, OoTP, p. 520 & 591) on LV (i.e., it is the only other place we
have heard Snape visited)
Of course, there are a number of other places it could be:
Somewhere in Hogsmeade (The Shrieking Shack? Maybe not...)
Somewhere in Nocturn Alley
Somewhere in Diagon Alley
Somewhere in the Forbidden Forest
Somewhere in Little Whining (althought, I doubt it, too obvious)
Somewhere near Privet Drive
Ideas? Thoughts?
