I'm pretty sure Harry had never been in the Room of Requirement 
before.  He had just heard about it from Dumbledore.  When I first 
heard that JKR quote, the room that came to my mind was the 
Antechamber of the Great Hall (the one where Harry and the other 
Champions go after the Goblet of Fire spits their names out).  I 
think JKR introduced that room knowing that it would be important 
later in the series.
