I don't know if I can agree with this.  My disagreement has nothing 
to do with your logic, though :).  It has more to do with JKR's 
writing style.  When there is something important, we always have 
clues for several times before you see the importance (take Mrs. Figg 
for example who still hasn't made her main appearance, but has been 
mentioned in 2 books so far).  I would expect that the room of 
importance (and POSSIBLY the one on the cover) is one we've heard 
about, and had described, but never realized the importance of.  I 
cannot remember ever having the Astronomy room described to me, so I 
can't believe it is important.  However, I will say this...if JKR 
starts out book 5 by describing the room in detail, I will sit up and 
take notice! :)

My vote is for the Gryffindor common room.  Wouldn't it be cool to 
find a room with all these magical properties and it's a place where 
they've already spent so much time?
