First I did a pretty bad job of editing the previous posts, sorry
about that.

Point 1: The bathroom
I agree, there is no way one room would have the same use for over a
thousand years. So, I suspect, as you do, that the enchanted entrance
adapts to the room built above it. So, if it were a classroom, you
would find something in the room with a small snake symbol on it, that
would tell you where the entrance to the chamber was. 

Point 2: Medicine to ghosts.

Pure speculation, you fill a tea kettle with potion and water, bring
it to a boil, and waft the steam through the ghost. Hey, it could happen.

Just some thoughts.
