Or perhaps Dumbledore was being kind; if he'd already pretty much
determined to reject her application, he wouldn't want her
humiliation witnessed by the portraits of the other headmasters,
who'd be listening and watching and whose discretion couldn't be
assured.  

The same reason, I assume, that Snape and Dumbledore had their
private discussion (that Hagrid partly overheard) in the forest
rather than in Dumbledore's office.
