 Me:

   I have thought that this room is the one that JKR must be 
refering to ever since I read the transcript of the interview in 
question. DD has mentioned things in front of Harry before that seem 
inconsequencial at the time but turn out to be important. For 
example:

"Fascinating creatures, pheonixes. They can carry immensly heavy 
loads, their tears have healing powers, and theyt makes highly 
*faithful* pets."  pg 207 US paperback COS
    
   I'm sure that there are more examples of this but my brain 
doesn't seem to be completely on line yet this morning.
