Why would Harry go "searching" for a chamberpot room? JKR enjoys
having the three hide in bathrooms as safehouses to learn new things,
but it would be interesting to see how she brings that one about. The
chamberpot room seems to be a roving room that surprises the wanderer
in a time of need. If anything we can assume Dumbledore knew he was
"revealing" to Potter that the room exists and to not be surprised if
he stubles upon it, like with the mirror of erised. The perfectly
proportioned part is interesting. Why would that matter? Anyway, my
vote is for the chamberpot magical room as the one JKR wants to visit.

I like this idea. Where better for a Willy-Wonka-type elevator than a
magical castle in England. Especially since nobody can apparate on
Hogwarts grounds.
Thats all. :)
