I know Peeves is not a real ghost but is a poltergeist or a force of
chaos, I believe JKR said.  Does that mean that Peeves would be
"trapped" in the Common Room and couldn't exit if the door was closed?
Can he not glide thru walls like the Ghosts can?
..
And come to think of it, have any of the Ghosts ever appeared in their
respective Common Rooms?  I suppose they could just be giving the
students privacy, but somehow, I think not.

I just found a quote for this:

~~Quote from PoA, Ch9~~
Harry woke extremely early the next morning; so early that it was still
dark. For a moment he thought the roaring of the wind had woken him,
then he felt a cold breeze on the back of his neck and sat bolt upright
- Peeves the poltergeist had been floating next to him, blowing hard in
his ear.

"What did you do that for?" said Harry furiously. Peeves puffed out his
cheeks, blew hard and zoomed backward out of the room, cackling.
