My image was always of a taller structure. I (perhaps incorrectly) remember
harry looking up at the castle from the lake on his first time there, so it
has to be on a hill or something.  They also talk about lots of floors and
going up and down lots of stairs, so I'd think you'd want something taller
and less wide.

Just my thoughts.
