I am not 100% sure about this, so please someone correct me if i'm 
wrong, but...

Have we seen anyone actually "traveling" by Floo powder outside of 
Hogwarts (except Lupin to Snape's office in PoA, that would be internal 
travel)? Or just "communicating" by Floo? I know, having your head 
there is like traveling, but limited somehow, as you can't go anywhere 
but the fireplace...
I am betting that there is some type of control over that... students 
could come and go as they wished if you could travel using the common 
rooms' fireplaces. Although they may want to phone/floo their parents 
sometimes ....
