Well then how would Tom Riddle have found it? It would've needed to 
be 'wanted to be found' otherwise Tom wouldn't be able to find it. 
Unless it could say, I want to be found but not by teachers. If you 
look at it this way the teachers would have been able to find it, 
but once again there is the parcelmouth thing. It in itself seems as 
good as any at stopping people from entering the chamber.
