The only question I have about that then, is Dumbledore was not 
specifically thinking of this room, he was looking for his bathroom.  
However, 1/2 awake first thing in the morning, maybe he was 1/2 
dreaming about such a wonderful idea that room would be, and 
therefore *thought* of it and found it?

Being that it's mentioned as being *chamber* pots . . . it could be 
as old as the original bathrooms of the place.  On the other hand, a 
lot of old pottery can be sizeable enough to look like *chamber* 
pots.  Perhaps there is still some connection with Egypt?
