I think that we can only speculate, but my belief is that JKR did have a 
number of the pieces of the plot planned by this time.  And, I believe that 
the Vanishing Cabinet, both the one that Nick breaks in this chapter and the 
one that Harry hid in, back when he was in Knockturn Alley were part of the 
plan.  I do believe that she had this planned as a way to get bad guys into 
the Castle at some critical point.  I think that she probably also had Draco 
planned as the one to have to "fix" the broken one.  I can't guess if she 
"knew" that it would occur at the end of book 6, and the other details.

Just my personal guess and YMMV.
