Gryffindor Common Room (was: The Arts at Hogwarts)

Reading the discussion about the artwork at Hogwarts brings me to a question i've been mulling around in my mind for quite some time. In PoA, when Sirius slashed the painting of the Fat Lady, the entire school heard about it. And that means that the entire school now knows where the Gryffindor common room is. Wouldn't that be a bit of a problem? Apparently the common room locations are supposed to be kept secret (just as Harry and Ron had no clue where the Slytherin room was when they polyjuiced themselves into Crabbe and Goyle). So instead of bringing the Fat Lady back to the same location, wouldn't it have been smarter to put a different painting in her place?

What do you guys think?
