"secret" place in some way or other, our guesses so far, all based on 
previously known persons is probably all totally off the mark.  So, my guess 
is...we have absolutely no idea!  My guess is that is IS involved with the 
Order of the Phoneix of course.  That seems pretty safe.  Huggs Becky>>>

I tend to agree with this - remember the flying Ford Anglia, and how the 
Knight Bus literally came out of nowhere, and there's the Quidditch World 
Cup at the beginning of GoF.  If this "house" scene occurs near the 
*beginning* of the book, it's even *more* likely to be something brand new, 
IMHO - after the opening "meanwhile, back at Privet Drive" scenes, JKR tends 
to plunge us into something brand new right at the start.
