Pen Robinson and his bewildering assortment of bathroom furniture:
> Then the next question is, what facilities, that is, what equipment 
is contained in each bathroom?
Tubs, stools, sinks?
Tub/shower combinations, stools, sinks?
Showers only, stools, sinks?
I think Hogwarts is old-fashioned enough to have baths rather than 
showers.>
Kirstini (c'est moi, you know) 
It has both. Showers in the Quidditch changing rooms (ie "Where's 
Wood?" "Still in the showers. We think he's trying to drown 
himself.", baths (presumably) in the dormitories - I noticed last 
night when reading OoP that Ron and Ginny go off for baths after a 
particularly bad Quidditch practise. Ron could always be off to the 
Prefects bathroom, but Ginny couldn't. This bit is either "The Beetle 
At Bay" or the chapter immediately after it, as Hermione and Harry 
have just been talking about Cho and her particular brand of 
waterworks.   
Another bit of scintillating canonical discussion there. Actually, if 
you're interested in the subject, try typing "plumbing" and "toilet" 
into the Search Archive and clicking "Previous" a few times. I think 
back in February or so there was a fantastic post on lavatorial 
humour and Rabelasian preoccupations in the series.  The Leaky 
Cauldron also archived an article from an Australian paper a few 
weeks back, on why Harry never washes. 
Kirstini, feeling a bit mucky.
