But the scene does NOT say Ron and Harry didn't know Penelope's 
house.  It says that Penelope thought they didn't know.  We are NOT 
told what Ron and Harry thought on the matter.

They asked the first person they ran across "Where is OUR common 
room?"  'Our' could have just as easily meant Harry and Ron, as well 
as it can mean Harry, Ron, and Penelope.  Penelope obviously took it 
to mean the latter.  I've always read it as the former.  It makes a 
funnier scene, IMO.
