Valky:
I have a strong enough suspicion that Hogwarts will be attacked. And 
I even have a theory as to where. Come to think of it its even 
probably where Peter has been all this time.

The passage behind the mirror on the fourth floor that leads right 
into Hogsmeade. 

Usable until the Winter of COS:
The winter season in COS directly follows Ginny's possession by 
Voldemort. 
The text about Winter appears to kick off in COS with the beginning 
of chapter 11 'the Duelling Club'
In the prior chapter 'The Rogue Bludger' Colin Creevey is pertified 
on his way upstairs, supposed by MacGonagall to be sneaking up to 
the hospital wing to see Harry. Now heres where it gets tricky and 
only Potterania experts who have deduced the whereabouts of certain 
Hogwarts rooms will be able to fully confirm.
Dumbledore is travelling downstairs, presumably to the kitchens 
which we see in GOF to be one floor above the Entrance Hall. 

Creevey is presumed , probably accurately, to be travelling up the 
stairs to the hospital wing and met the Basilisk coming down them. 

Now its fitting that if Ginny!Riddle was on the fourth floor putting 
a magic seal on the tunnel to Hogsmeade then turned to walk back 
down to the Myrtles bathroom located on the second floor. (you have 
to read several passages in COS to get this information)
that someone coming from the Entrance Hall and up the stairs to the 
Hospital wing *might* have passed them, and that Dumbledore coming 
down the stairs some flights behind them could have missed it all by 
just a hairs breadth of a second.

This all happened at the beginning of winter in the year of COS, 
which is when Fred and Gerge claim the tunnel became sealed.

Riddle has his very own way into Hogwarts!
And I recall a conversation with Sirius, which I can't find right 
now but I recall it fairly well, implies that the Marauders were 
quite familiar with the location and secrets of this tunnel.
So likewise, Peter is the obvious choice for a servant to be 
instigating preparations for a Hogwarts attack through that tunnel.

That is my bit of input there.
Best to all
