    Yeah, I'd forgotten about that, but thanks to you and a few 
others, now I know. ;) This bad memory is getting worse, God only 
knows what'll happen when the last book is done, I'll have to recall 
way too much info for my poor ickle brain. ;)

    This had figured, but I was curious as to if all the rooms were 
this way, or not. I'm sure the house elves arranged things after the 
sorting ceremony, but I had wondered if they did have an extra bed or 
two in there incase of visitors or transfers.

    Yes, being too vague makes me more curious. Is there some sort of 
storage room there? Are the loos on the same floors, or different 
ones to prevent temptation? IIRC, the stairs to the girl's dorm turns 
into a slide, if a boy tries to use it, but what about the boy's 
stairwell?

    Well, good guesses, imho. I like you layout. My purpose for 
asking more questions is to get a general idea about what the others 
think. I think the map is great, and will certainly help a lot for 
fanficts, and for helping readers visualize the layout of the castle 
better. ;)
