G.C. adds:

The previous conversation follows my opinion about the vanishing cabinet.

I think that the vanishing cabinet in Borgin and Burkes could have 
been a member of the goods that Lucius Malfoy wanted to sell. This 
allows Malfoy to get as much information from his father as he likes, 
given that he could go to Azkaban? I dunno, just a thought.
