Now me:

I think the secret room at Hogwarts is the chamber pot room, too.  I 
offered the following theory in post #42944:

What if a witch or wizard could summon the chamber pot room when 
she/he has an urgent need to return to Hogwarts? Hermione tells us 
over and over again that you can't Apparate within the Hogwarts 
grounds, which has led to speculation about how Dumbledore got back 
to Hogwarts so quickly to help Harry after he encounters Quirrellmort 
in PS/SS. Perhaps the chamber pot room can be summoned in times of 
great need to return to Hogwarts quickly (sort of like a portkey).

This would also concur with Eloise's latin derivation of "mentioned" 
as meaning "thought of" - when you think of the room, you find 
yourself there!
