Also, think about the number of students in each house.  How 
would it be reasonable to talk to your son/daughter if there are 
something like (using Harry's male year as a standard, 5* 2 
genders * 7 years= ) 70 students for each house, and 280 in the 
school.

Which also asks the question, what if two (or more) people try to 
Floo talk to the same fireplace? Do they both show up?

Her own office was unprocteced, as you mention later.

What if she had decided to hold on to try and follow him through 
to his own location?  This would mean his attempts to flee her 
would help her get through.

Though again, this begs the question, can you Floo into a 
secret-keeper house/place? If not, can you atleast appear in the 
fire and talk?  But I doubt JKR thought too much in this direction.
