Hmm. I have a question, actually. How much did they ever say about the Black's place, the one on...Grimmauld Street, I think it was? How many floors, what all kinds of rooms and artifacts did it have, just how big was it, what sort of neighborhood was it in? Even if it wasn't explicitly stated, what was implied? It's been awhile since I read Order of the Phoenix, and I disliked it enough that I don't really feel like reading through it and the sequels to try and pin that sort of information down, so if anyone happens to know...I'd appreciate it. I've been fiddling with a notion on and off, so...
Its not a paricularly large dwelling, and it's actualy rather odd that the Blacks would have one.
Most rooms are small, and the entry hall would be more of an alcove, very cramped for more than a few people.
Basic layout, (Guideline, suported by canon info)
Lower level, Kitchen/larder
Entry level, (Often the second story in this kind of building) entranceway and drawingroom.
upper two levels, bedrooms and washrooms.
In Cannon it's not made clear whether the entrance is on the second level, in which case the kitchen would be on the ground story, and there would be a basement, or if the entrance is at ground level, in which case the kitchen is a basement.
In either case, there are at least two levels of bedrooms, and it's unlikely there are more unless the blacks decided to build, and felt the need for large parties.
Any rooms above the first bed level are likely to be more sleeping quarters, as it's uncomon to have those in the middle of everything.
