On her site, JKR teases us (in "Extra Stuff/Edits" at the bottom of 
the page):

"I have come close to using a chapter very like this in 
Philosopher's Stone, (it was one of the discarded first 
chapters), 'Prisoner of Azkaban', and 'Order of the Phoenix', but 
here, finally, it works, so it's staying. And that's all I'm going 
to say, but when you read it, just know that it's been about 13 
years in the brewing."

If you look back at the list of "Edits", you'll also see 'The 
Opening Chapter of Philosopher's Stone', which alludes to the 
chapters she had to throw out. Does she rat herself out here by 
giving the chapter in question?
