I (JOdel) commented;

>>And, there was a third passage behind the mirror on the fourth floor which 
was the Twin's prefered route until it caved in the winter that the Basilisk 
was making free of the school. At this point we do not know whether the 
Basilisk was relevant to the cave in.<<

To which Tanya reminded us of the cave-in that Lockhart set off at the end of 
CoS. 

Nice try. But it doesn't wash. The twins stated very clearly that their 
passage caved in in the *winter* of the Basilisk. Lockhart's cave-in wasn't until 
the end of the term. Probably May or, more likely, June. Different passage 
altogether.

The winter cave in would probably have taken place any time from the 
Christmas hols to about February or March. And during most of that period Harry had 
the Diary and the Basilisk was not called at all.
