In my short time in the fandom, I have seen this question of the
plumbing come up over and over again in regards to the Chamber. Hogwarts
was founded, what, 1000 years ago? Didn't the Romans have fairly decent
plumbing/running water? Hot and cold even?  Between magic and already
existing technology (Dark Ages notwithstanding, perhaps Wizards
preserved the Muggle 'good stuff'), I don't think the plumbing issue is
really a problem. Even if at some point the sinks were replaced, would
it be such a stretch for Salazar to have charmed the snake to reappear
on whatever fixture was in that spot?
