Magpie:
Snape's claim is incredibly vague--he just provided information that led to 
his death, right?  It could have been anything.  That read to me as an easy 
way for Snape to stick himself into the story.  That Narcissa doesn't 
contradict him doesn't say to me that he's telling the truth, just that she 
believes it could be true.  It doesn't contradict her knowledge.

Catlady:
While Dumbledore was the first person to mention what turned out to be the 
Room of Requirement to us readers, I seriously doubt he was the first person 
to discover it. When Harry found it as 'place to hide
things', it was a *huge* room stuffed to the gills with different junk. I 
think it is supposed to have taken many hundreds of years of hiding things 
in it to accumulate that much junk.

Magpie:
Don't the Twins say they found it as well?  I think they said it was a broom 
closet when they needed a place to hide from Filch.  It's just they, like 
Harry in GoF, don't figure out that it's the room they need. They just 
thought it was a broom closet.
