Yeah, I realised that the tiara might be significant actually when we 
are 100% sure that Draco has been using the room of requirement for 
his "evil ends". It introduces (well, to me!)the possibility that the 
room of requirement can be used for evil means. It has not got 
a "secrecy sensor". Isn't there a broke foe glass in there too or 
something? Anyway, my point is, the room provides, and doesn't seem to 
monitor. Maybe this is a loophole that was made on purpose (a bit like 
the law Arthur wrote...) an oversight from who created the room (maybe 
it's the Ravenclaw equivalent of the chamber of secrets??), or 
purposeful. If the room of requirement is even *more* important than 
we have so far been led to believe, for example if is *is* 
Ravenclaw's 'chamber', then it could be possible that Voldie hid or 
placed the tiara there after he was rejected for the post of DADA 
teacher. 
It seems that DD did not believe that Voldie *only* wanted to teach. 
What if Voldie wanted to hide that/a horcrux? Maybe he didn't have 
time or opportunity to go to the CoS (which he obv knew of at the 
time), and chose the next best thing - the RoR - concentrating on a 
room that where he could *hide* something. 
I realise that all of the above requires some leaping of faith, 
perhaps downright flying...but...is it so much more unbelievable than 
some of the other theories that we've (the fan community) come up with 
so far?

Tonks_op, did you mean the tiara Molly will give Fleur when you 
said "the tiara" here? If so, Molly does say that it was made by 
goblins, doesn't she? Unfortunately (for me) I've lent my HBP to a 
friend so can't check atm. I doubt whether this object will prove to 
be harmful, as Bill would probably be able to tell if it was, wouldn't 
he? Both he and Arthur have after all had plenty of experience with 
objects that have been charmed to be harmful, in one way or another, 
and both have no doubt been affected by Moody's "constant vigilance" 
rule. 

On a side note - is the Moody we see in GoF close enough to the 'real 
thing' that we can interchange his/their personalities? I imagine that 
Crouch Jnr. may have seen or heard enough about Moody in Voldie's 
first reign of terror that he was able to pull this off, or are we to 
actually believe that in some ways, Moody and Crouch Jnr are/were 
quite similar in their oddities?
For instance, Crouch Jnr. does after all have reason to be *annoyed* 
at Karkaroff (GoF, when the champions are in the back room), and so 
does Moody, for different reasons. Are the emotions we see in Crouch!
Moody therefore meant to reflect Real!Moody's 
emotions/character/personality?
- apologies for the rather longer than expected side note!
