I've already declared for GG as HBP, and I agree that we are long
overdue for learning some of what's in _Hogwarts: A History_. JKR and
Hermione have been teasing us with that book for five books now and I
WANT TO READ IT!!! (Sorry for shouting in frustration :)

I think having a concrete historical feature of the Hogwarts grounds
(i.e. the graveyard) lead the Trio finally to explore Hogwarts history
in depth would work very nicely as a plot device. And, as you say, a
few strategically-placed gravestones could lead to (or link) Hogwarts'
recent history (the Potters) with its ancient history (the Founders)
and maybe even its mid-range history (Tom Riddle).
