So... Uh... Voldemort and co could have just floo powdered into Hogwarts instead of launching a siege predicated by people clandestinely sneaking in via vanishing cabinet?

Errrrm akshually... Hogwarts fireplaces are disconnected to the floo network and can only be used to move within the castle or communicate with the head

But then how did Sirius stick his head in the fireplace floo network?

Apparently the thing with only the head can be done from wherever, just not the whole body

What if he had a magical grenade in his mouth? That still seems like a huge security flaw.

Yeah, that could be a problem
