The others sleep in different dorms.. There is more than one dorm, you know. They only show you one because there is no need for them to show you any other ones..

The common rooms are probably quite big (so it could fit a lot of people), but anyway, it's not like there's going to be loads of people in the common room at the same time, so it's not like it's going to be jam packed.

Harry's dorm room only only needs to fit the boys in Harry's year in Gryffindor. There are five of them totoal, Harry, Ron, Seamus, Neville, and Dean. The other boys in different Houses and years get their own room.

As far as the Common Room goes... try here...

There are actually five. I know, I was shocked and amazed, too.


Spoiler:

MA: Speaking of Gryffindor students, do you have the name of those two Gryffindor girls?

JKR: Oh, God. (laughs)

SU: Pressure's on!

JKR: Do you know what? I swear to you, I will find the damn notebook, (MA laughs) and I will put it on my website. I will put it on my website, (SU: Woo hoo!) that will be my gift to you.

JN: Your whole notebook? (laugh)

JKR: No, are you mad? (All laugh) (SU: That'd be awesome.) That's for the Scottish Book. No. (JN: Of course, yeah.) The two names. I will put two names up.

MA: It's just so funny, because this thing has been five years or something. Just that question.

JKR: Yes, it's been- Exactly. We've been talking about that for four years, I think it is now.

JN: I'm sure it's not going to shatter the Earth, or anything, once we figure out who it is.

JKR: No, to be honest, I really don't think it will, (MA: No, no.) because I never mentioned them once in the canon, so...

Apprantly they were there all along... JKR just never mentioned them in cannon. Meaning, Harry saw them but never mentioned them or anything. And remember, we didnt' hear all the students in his year being sorted. Maybe JKR decided that those students weren't necassary for the plot, so she tried her best to to leave them out... here take a look at this essay...
Spoiler:



Two Unidentified Gryffindor Girls
This intriguing piece of deduction was done by Jeralyn, the Voicelady on HP4GU. She writes:

The standard wisdom among fans is that if Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati had another roommate, we would have heard something about her by now.

Actually, I have figured out that there are two more Gryffindor girls in their year that we haven't been introduced to yet.

I've been rereading PA... (a)nd the scene with Lupin and the boggart in the wardrobe is very telling. Lupin wants all the students to have a go, and the scene runs as follows:

Neville - Snape in Gran's dress and hat
Parvati - the mummy
Seamus - the banshee
unidentified female student - rat
unidentified female student - rattlesnake
unidentified female student - eyeball
Dean - hand
Ron - spider
Then Lupin calls it back before Harry has to deal with it, and sends it to Neville to finish it off. Harry and Hermione didn't have to work with it, because they answered the questions correctly at the beginning of the class.

Now we know that Lavender was one of those unidentifed students. We also know that there are definitely only five boys in Harry's dorm room, so that's how I knew that the two remaining students were girls.

Ta-da!

EDITOR'S NOTE:
This isn't conclusive proof of anything, of course, but it's a nice bit of deduction and just might turn out to be true! Another perfectly reasonable explanation, of course, is that the boggart was getting confused and was changing form at random. -- Steve Vander Ark
