Neri:
I think you stretch JKR's words a bit, Kneasy. There is no indication 
at all that the thing that has "no connection with the Basilisk or TR 
and the diary" is in the chamber (the place). I think you 
misinterpret the sentence "the link I mentioned between books 2 and 6 
does not in fact relate to the Half-Blood Prince... Rather, it 
relates to a discovery Harry made in 'Chamber' that foreshadows 
something he finds out in 'Prince' ". JKR clearly means 
here "Chamber" the book and not necessarily "chamber" the place. 
Throughout this answer she calls the six books by her favorite pet 
names: "Stone", "Chamber", "Azkaban", "Goblet", "Phoenix" 
and "Prince". I think this misunderstanding had started since that 
old interview about the DVD of the second movie, where many readers 
mixed "Chamber" the book with "chamber" the place, and thus the whole 
story of "something small in the chamber" was born.

I personally tend to think that the foreshadowing discovery was the 
Parseltongue. In HBP Harry is going to discover many other powers he 
got from Voldy.
