I have speculated, I think on this forum (?), that Riddle found that 
passageway and used it for the very purpose of getting crystallised 
pineapple for Slughorn (and perhaps other purposes?) -- he didn't 
have any money, yet it seemed he was making quite a habit of these 
gifts to the Potionsmaster.

It's probably the "other purposes" that would yield a pretty 
interesting discussion.
