CDR:

I've had a pet theory for a while now that the first chapter of Book 
6 will be a meeting or confrontation between the four founders - 
Griffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin (taking place in 
the past of course).  Maybe to explain the rift between Slytherin 
and the others, maybe to explain the founding of Hoqwarts,  the 
Chamber of Secrets, maybe something else entirely, I don't 
know. 

I think this is a scene that could have been in any of the books 
she has named because it is so basic to the plot and takes 
place in the distant past. In addition, IMO the person described 
behind the door on JKRs website is Godric Griffindor, so my 
guess is that the description is from that first chapter, when we 
finally get to meet the founders.

What do they talk about? Can't wait to find out!

Who also really wants to see the scene in GH and hopes for that 
as well.
