In GoF, two out of four contestents use the BubbleHead Charm to breathe underwater. That's 50%. We can assume from this that it's not completely obscure. And in the next book, virtually everybody used the charm because the halls stunk. While it can be argued that the use of this charm last year popularized it (meaning that some of these people didn't know about it the year before), it's fair to say it's an easy charm if the whole school can accomplish it.

Why didn't Hermione suggest it to Harry? Truly it has been said that Hermione is JKR's Mary Sue. She's the Wesley Crusher of the wizarding world. She knows everything. And she didn't know about a simple, probably-not-very-obscure spell that lets one breathe underwater? What?
