Cuaron and the graveyard

No, this is not about the movie. I hope i'm staying on topic with what 
follows.

I am wondering about the comment that Alfonso Cuaron has made about a 
graveyard at Hogwarts. The way he said it (or the way it's written he 
said it) is that he wanted to film a scene in a graveyard, and JK told 
him not to because there was a graveyard at Hogwarts that we would see 
later on. And i am wondering the following: did JK really meant a 
graveyard at Hogwarts that we will see either in book 6 or book 7, or 
if she told him that there was another graveyard in the books 
(referring to the one in GoF, not in the Hogwarts grounds directly, but 
accessed through the portkey from the grounds) and that it would be 
better not to add a fictitious one in the 3rd movie so that it's not 
confused with the one in GoF.

I suspect that Cuaron got it wrong, and he said Hogwarts when she meant 
books. However, a graveyard at Hogwarts opens the field for predictions 
and suggestions. Here is mine: i think that the Hogwarts Founders 
(minus SS) are buried in the Hogwarts grounds, only a bit outside what 
we have seen so far (on the opposite side of the castle, for instance). 
And i think that probably early on the book Dumbledore will take Harry 
there for a walk, and will start telling him things he should know (and 
that we are dying to know), which might include a lot about Godric 
Gryffindor, my bet for the Half-Blood Prince.

The BBC Newsround article about the DVD also mentions a map that JK 
drew for the movie people of how she imagines everything is located at 
Hogwarts. I am really looking forward to seeing this map, and wonder if 
it will reveal any new bit of canon. Also, i do wonder if there will be 
a graveyard in it....
