If by that you mean JKR's use of the word *valuable* means that it is a clue 
that might be useful in the future I think you're mistaken.  In this instance 
I'm 100% sure that she means *valuable* in a strictly in a monetary sense. 

First editions of books can become quite the collectors item as years pass 
and one containing an error that has been corrected in subsequent printings 
takes on a uniqueness and value all its own.  If someone owns this edition 
and can get it autographed it value would increase.  I recently saw a 1st 
edition of PS/SS selling for $100.00.
