discredit that piece of evidence.
 It's the 'Room of REQUIREMENTS'! It's a room that manufactures or
creates what ever you require. If you were hungry, it would be full 
of food; the room would make the food. If you had to go to the 
bathroom, it would create chamber pots. If you needed evidence
to convict someone; the room would create the evidence.>

But it doesn't create. Not at all. It Summons. When Harry first 
enters the room, he looks around him and notices that the cracked 
Foe Glass hanging up was the same one that had hung in Moody's 
office last year. Dumbledore mentions "a collection of antique 
chamberpots" - for them to be antique, they would have to have been 
created a long time ago. They are *old* chamber pots. Therefore, 
yes, they needed the evidence, but the Room could only produce the 
list precisely because Harry had already created it. The room 
creates an atmosphere - it's like an ideal interior designer - but 
there is absolutely no mention anywhere of it creating anything.
