Very good point.  Three other possibilities:

1. Penny has long hair--maybe it is covering the crest (or is it a 
coat-of-arms?  Amanda, please don't shoot!).

2. Harry and Ron are not thinking very clearly.  They're in a terrible 
hurry, and are so relieved to see someone in the dungeon that they ask her 
about the common room without even paying attention to the details that 
would tell them she isn't in Slytherin.

3. Considering what Penny's just been up to, maybe she's just carrying her 
robe or pulling it back on or . . .

Let's draw the curtain on that visual image.
