Laura now:
I can see that, wherever there is smoke (from all the incense) there
is fire!  And that would help to brew all that tea.

Could it be that Trelawney is there because it has something special
which would keep her safer than eleswhere?

As to the hat:  maybe the hat is asking a simple question of Harry
in DD's office in COS- Bee in your bonnet, Potter?  (or is that
movie contamination?)  As if it sees something extra there, and is
just wondering, not using the phrase to ask if something is wrong.

Wouldn't Hufflepuff's room be within the greenhouses, through a
plant  (which would gladly strangle you)  covered wall, somewhat
like "the Secret Garden"?
