That's what I'm talking about! I'm sure that when Slytherin built the CoS it
wasn't a bathroom. But when the castle was modernized and a bathroom was
built there, the entrance just adapted to the new structure. The catacombs
underneath are surely the original, 1000-year old ones, but the actual
snake-on-a-sink entrance is probably a magical enchantment that adapts any
structure on top of the catacombs tunnel into an entrance.

Is it clear now?
