This is only evidence that it is easier to steal robes than 
additional clothes that would specifically fit C & G.  (They can 
just get any robes that are big enough to accomodate the "borrowed" 
bodies.)  Actually, if JKR really has been picturing the students 
all along as they appeared in the film, the reason they would have 
to segregate themselves to change is because of the Muggle-like 
uniforms they're wearing under the robes.  I used to think it was 
odd for them to hide from each other while putting robes on as well, 
but the more formal uniforms with the neckties, etc., make sense of 
this.
