> ME (who is Becky):  Personally, knowing Ms. Rowling's perchant for 
introducing new places and things to us each book, this is very 
probably someplace where we haven't seen yet.  I personally doubt it 
is either the Riddle House or the Shrieking Shack or anyplace we 
know.  That would be consistant with her style and logically it is a 
big world out there and we have indeed been shown so little of it 
that it would also make sense that this, for good or ill is an 
entirely new place.

Pip!Squeak:
I don't think the illustration is of the Riddle house. 'SS' appears 
to be carved in the top left buttress of the house (rather snaky 'S' 
as well). On the middle left, one of the carvings looks as if it 
*might* be a cobra's head, open to strike (above the open window).

The stones above the lower (boarded up) window have a 'teeth/fangs' 
look about them as well.

The Riddle house was built and owned by Muggles - I don't think it 
would have references to Salazar Slytherin built in. This is either 
somewhere connected with Voldemort or (hopefully) a house connected 
with the Slytherin line.

Or I could have just squinted at the illustration a bit too much and 
be imagining things [grin].
