Riddle's Orphanage

I'm reading DH with my youngest. My second read, his first. We just 
started The Goblin's Revenge (at least I think that's the name of the 
chapter) and the Trio visited the site of Riddle's orphange---now a 
block of office buildings in London.

The location of that orphange was a major thread once upon a time---
maybe there were more than one thread; I don't know. 

I was wondering what Geoff, and any other participants from that topic, 
thought about the search and the desciption of the location? Why do you 
think JKR had them visit the site? Even as they looked, they didn't 
expect to find anything.

Potioncat who would have asked this question sooner, but wasn't 
completely certain she had really read it in DH, and didn't have the 
canon until tonight.
