Interesting. So under my theory, above, V's agents would also have had to have sneaked in once, undetected, to take the stone, and then created the second incident -- either by staging a fake break-in, or by just showing up and raising havoc when the stone was missing. It's a fair question how they could have pulled that off.
Or else, I wonder if maybe the roles are reversed. V's agents took the stone in the normal way, just like Hagrid did in canon, and then someone on the Order's side, maybe DD's hypothetical "third force," attempted an actual break-in and was unsuccessful. So now they have to figure out how to get it out of Hogwarts . . .
Not enough info to decide what, if any, of this is the most likely. Which is half the fun! :)
