It's not further evidence, but it's a good suggestion for a possible place for Hermione to be. It's safe from Quirrell and unexpected. It's also partially hidden by a different charm (assuming QQ can sense Harry's magic)

It is literary evidence, because EY is talking about the glasses.

For the record, I think it very likely that Hermione is the glasses
