Yeah, but there isn't really a difference, if they just use a portkey 
to get into Harry's bedroom.

Oh, I agree. Personally, I think that Hogwarts ground is the place, 
were the finale battle in book 7 will take place. It's also a perfect 
opportunity for JKR to use most of their characters, because they are 
already there. Of course there are some characters, who are absent 
from Hogwarts, like the older Weasleys, but, if, for example, 
Trelawney makes a third prophecy, that Hogwarts will be attacked by 
Voldemort, it would give JKR a reason, to bring some Order members to 
Hogwarts, to guard it.
