Melody replied:
 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.<<

As Sumbledore mentioned, he found this room only while wandering with
an extremely full bladder - perhaps the room is not *always* a room
filled with chamberpots, but rather a room that only shows itself when
one is in great need or desire of something, and is then filled with
that? Melody sort of hints at this in her post, though I'm not sure if
this is what she meant... I think this would be much more interesting,
as a plot device and in general, than another bathroom. :)
