Those were my thoughts when i first read JKR's response as well.


Roo again:
<< Which room cold this be?
Well, I really don't have a strong conviction on one particular 
room, but it could be any number of them. However, my favourite 
possibilities are:
1) The Gryffindor Common Room: it makes sense that Rowling 
would want to go here, given the role it plays in the series. Plus if 
it has always been the Gryffindor Common Room , it would 
make sense that some significant part of the Gryffindor heritage 
would be contained nearby. This works particularly well with the 
Heir of Gryffindor theory, as Harry could in his possible role as 
heir discover some of Gryffindor's power. 
2) The Owlery. The Owlery plays much less of a role than the 
Common Room, and thus is only ever really "mentioned", while 
the GCR is actually discussed, featured, etc. I can just see JKR 
hiding a powerful magical secret in a place that we have all 
accepted as being relatively mundane and unimportant 
compared to other places.>>

I've been racking my brains since the original post about the room trying to 
think of somewhere and just had a thought (ooh err..;o)) could it be the 
Prefects Bathroom? 
I've been tending to think more about rooms that we, and Harry, were first 
introduced to in book 4. Because if it was a room we'd known about all along 
why specifically mention book 4? 

But then, this is JKR we're talking about... ;o)
