CONFIRMED!!
I was looking through OotP on lunch break and read this, then came 
back and saw the thread. Talk about luck!

When the DA is having their organizational meeting in the Hogs Head, 
the talk turns to Harry's accomplishments, and Ernie says that he 
spoke to "a portrait in Dumbledore's office" who told him about the 
sword on the wall, Godric Gryffindor's sword Harry used to defeat the 
basilisk. I don't think Ernie described the painting, and I don't 
know if he said "behind DD's desk" or not, but he did speak to the 
painting. There are probably many "framed folks" in the office, but I 
wouldn't be surprised if the one Ernie talked to is the same as the 
one we're talking about. Maybe it is GG in the picture...
