'Kay, now I'm going out on a limb, because I only have PoA with me at the moment.  But I seem to recall that Harry's dorm with it's five canpied beds is called *the* Gryffindor boys' dorm for his year.  I'm going to assume that because it wasn't called *one of the* dorms, that it is, in fact, the only one.  I would really have to go check CoS to make sure, but it seemed to me the most plausible explanation.  It also would go hand-in hand- with there being just 20 brooms for Quidditch training and 20 cauldrons in Potions (both classes shared with Slytherin).
