I have thought about that part of JR's interview alot
and I think somehow this room is how Harry will find
out things about his mother.  JR has said how much she
misses her own mother and I too have lost my mother
and if there was a room in Hogwarts where I could go
and spend an hour with my mother that would be where I
would go.  JR has ssaid Harry will find out more about
Lily in Book so that is my guess.  Countting down the
days to see if I'm right.  The horrible thought is
after we get some questions answered in Book 5 how
long will we wait for our new questions to be answered
in Book 6.
