The Chamber is most likely one of those magical objects with a 
mind of its own. I'm not sure anyone could find it unless it 
wanted to be found. The snake marking on the tap could be like 
the Dark Mark or the writing on the Marauders Map--only visible  
under certain circumstances. Riddle *wanted* Harry to enter the 
Chamber--if he hadn't, perhaps Harry would have searched in 
vain, parselmouth or not.
