Hi Carol, thanks also for your theory, it's very good and it goes 
with one of my guesses that the founders will have something to do in 
book 7 only in my theory It's more with their spirit or ghosts  but 
before I go further here's the HP dutch site in case anybody wants to 
read it. Yes, I think too that JKR had approved it or they would not 
put it on their site or they could have just follow the literal 
translation also.

maria8162001:

Your theory of a catacomb of the founders fits well with  the other 
translation of the heiligdom which means "shrine", as shrine can also 
be defined as a building or sturcture that house the relic or bones 
of a revered or holy person. The way I read the HP books aren't the 4 
founders revered by the WW especially those who goes to Hogwarts, 
either studying or teaching or working? That's very good as I never 
read yet on any posts that anybody here, aside from you suggested the 
catacombs of the founders, as most of us are going for the very 
obvious places. Cheers.
