OOP: Where Harry might go in book five?

Ok, was over at TLC looking at all the pictures they recently posted, 
and in particular the back cover of the special edition.

For those who haven't seen it, it shows what looks like the wing of 
an owl flying by an old, boarded up house.

And I have two thoughts on what that house might be:

The Shrieking Shack or the Riddle house.


Both present interesting possibilites.

In book 3, while the shack plays a prominent role, we don't learn 
much about it's history.  Maybe there is something more to it?   My 
guess actually is that maybe it was/is the headquarters for the Order 
of the Phoenix (assuming it some type of group).  In particular, if 
you want to go with the assumption that the OotP is group that fought 
Voldemort (either formed for that purpose or a group who comes 
together in times of desperate trouble).   In the fomer case, most 
people are afraid of the shack because of the rumors spread around in 
Lupin's time, so when Voldemort arrises, it might make a perfect 
secret headquarters.  In the later cases, it might already have a 
repuation before Lupin's time, hence Dumbledore makes use of that 
reputation in protecting Lupin's secret.

On the other hand, it it's the Riddle House then that presents a 
whole new slew of possibilities.  Once again, my guess is that 
Voldemort is still using his father's old house as base of operations 
in book 5 and when Harry has to finally confront him its there.
