Now me:

I don't think it's the Prefect's Bathroom, primarily because JKR says 
that the room is "mentioned," and the Prefect's Bathroom is more 
than "mentioned" (Harry actually goes there and takes a well-perfumed 
bath!).

My guess is the "chamber pot" room that Dumbldore mentions during the 
Yule Ball that you may only see at 5 in the morning with a full 
bladder (loose translation, I don't have GoF with me!).  Since we see 
the world through Harry's eyes, and Harry hasn't discovered its 
magical properties, neither have we.

But, as always, we won't know for sure until JKR tells us!
