I've got a riddle in mind, too, but I don't really know what to click on to give people stuff... sweatdrop

If you don't know how to send money or an item as a prize...the "trade" button is under the shop tab at the top of your screen. from there you enter the person's name and the amount of gold or items you're sending. Both have to accept the trade, and then it's done. smile
     

*Shrugs*
I think people are taking it too literally. But I added something that i original wrote but though it would give it away. These are all really good guesses thought ^^;

What about an invisibility cloak?
     
I have another guess.

I know snitch has already been guessed, but I mean a particular snitch, so I'll guess anyway. smile

The snitch Harry caught at his first quidditch match that dumbledore leaves for him.

I don't quite know how that would fit with walls having ears and it having eyes (the original would have had eyes), but as for the rest:
The snitch flies about the quidditch pitch, and can suddenly disappear (into the sky). In addition, it was a gift to Harry that Dumbledore left him in his will, and Harry must decipher a riddle it displays "I open at the close", and ultimately this snitch is involved in Harry solving the riddle of the what the deathly hallows are and how to use them (when harry is going to his death, at the close of his life, the snitch opens and harry can use the resurrection stone.
 
     
 

I really like .Herms.' explanation, but the answer has already been said.
Anika is correct!
Invisibility cloak!
Care to share you're explanation? xD
And I'll try to send the trade tomorrow. I'm not suppose to be on right now hehe

Correct Answer
Invisibility cloak

^^
Walls have Ears
And I have Eyes.

Despite the invisibility cloak lacking in they eye department, the person under it can clearly see through the invisibility cloak and remain hidden, despite the fact that even if the 'walls have ears' they wouldn't be detected. But of course, Dumbledore ends up finding out one way or another.
I fly through the Wind
And I melt with the Sky

Well, the invisibility cloak can melt into its surroundings, so let's just say that if Harry were to wear it on his broomstick, he could definately melt with the sky. But then, like every cloak, it can be blown off against the wind, an example would be when Fluffy's breath had blown it off of Harry, Ron and Hermione's heads when they were hidden underneath.
I am gift given to you
So that you may find the answer to their Clue.

He had recieved it from Dumbledore. It was originally his father's cloak but it was under the Headmaster's care before his birth and was given to him on Christmas.
The Clue probably refers to Hallows since the invisibility cloak is one of the three items. Not to mention the Invisibility cloak had helped Harry Potter throughout his school years including the time when the Golden Trio had snuck to the third floor and tried to find the Sorcerer's Stone.
 
     
 
Okay Herms, you can post your riddle if you like. You had dibs on the next riddle.
     
Haha, I feel like this might be quite obvious, and way less well constructed than the first two. But here it is!

Correct Answer:
 
     
 
I'm going to say the Diadem.

Being a tiara, it was made of a "precious substance", and it's past may be considered unjust.
It was destroyed by the fiendfyre, meant for Potter.
Not sure about the "ten eyes" part, but as an item from the past, it could "look backwards"
And it offered help in dire straits to Tom, by existing as a tool; Harry, by allowing itself to be destroyed; and possibly a few test-takers, if it was ever used like that.



Or i could be completely wrong. XD
     
Has anyone claimed the position as Aburame Torune's Fanwhore of A/M/C?

If not, I call it.
Damn you Aburame Clan, with your sexy bug boys.
Nope, but it's quite a good guess smile

Wrong Answers:
Diadem (of Ravenclaw)


Correct Answer:
 
     
 
A hint can be a clue that will help lead to the answer to the riddle. But of course, it's not the answer itself.
...for example on Yun-Ju's riddle, A hint she could have posted is "Usually found at Hogwarts Grounds" (since the cloak was usually used on Hogwarts Grounds)
Or "From one to the next." (The cloak was passed on from generation to generation)
It doesn't have to be very descriptive.
Does that help?

"Brilliant," said Hermione. "This isn't magic-it's logic-a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven't got an ounce of logic."
