The times were supposedly dangerous, with Muggles out to get wizards,

I think Hogsmede may have originally been founded as a town where the 
teachers and tradespeople the school depended on could live.  It would have 
been very convenient to the school and could easily account for the tunnels. 
  A quick way to get back and forth from work to home in bad weather.
