OOP: The mystery house

[lhunneb]

No: HPFGUIDX 60440

Maybe the mystery house is the long-abandoned ancestral home of the 
Slytherin family.  I know that Salazar lived in the 900's AD, but we 
know he had descendants (since Lord Voldemort is the last of them) 
and they had to live somewhere.  

Tom Riddle's mother was a witch from the Slytherin line.  Is this the 
house she grew up in?  Perhaps there are important clues to the past 
there and Dumbledore has brought Harry and his friends there to 
reveal the secrets to them.  Or maybe it is being used as the secret 
meeting place of the Order of the Phoenix, being the last place the 
Voldie would expect to find the good guys.
