In GoF, doesn't Sirius visit Harry in Gryffindor common room 
fireplace?  And doesn't Snape call Lupin into his office in PoA 
through the fireplace?  Are these examples of floo networking?

Has Harry been inside this room?  Rowling's hint seems to indicate 
that Harry is familiar with the room...I was operating under that 
assumption, anyhow!

I would also like to nominate the kitchen as a possible candidate!  
With all the house elves stuff going on, it's a likely place!

All this is very interesting! =)
