A couple guesses about scenes that might be coming:
Harry has a (mostly) honest conversation with Moody about what happened to Voldemort, with an eye to adding more safeguards. They consult with the world's foremost expert on memory-charming powerful wizards into insignificance, Gilderoy Lockhart.
Hermione is determined to rescue Dumbledore from the Mirror, and a phoenix comes to her because of it.
I cannot for a second imagine Moody allowing Harry to hold on to Tom Riddle. There are too many ways in which keeping a superpowered, immortal amnesiac former villain on your person could go wrong. Harry must anticipate this, so can't consult Moody.
Perhaps. But Moody did defer to Dumbledore, keeping Moody totally in the dark doesn't seem like a plausible option, and Harry explained to McGonagall in chapter 14 that he had enough common sense to seek out the appropriate experts in situations like this (or discovering Salazar's Chamber).
