Thats a very good point, and there is no canon to explain, but I can 
think of one way myself.  Lets say the original entrance to the 
Chamber of Secrets was created out of something which resembled a 
wide pillar.  Over the years as bathrooms were created, this pillar 
was innocently used to attach sinks and taps and the room made into a 
girls bathroom, without anyone recognising that said pillar was 
indeed the secret entrance to the chamber.  Another point is that the 
Chamber was previously opened by Tom Riddle, and perhaps he then 
added his own embelishments to the taps on the sinks ie. the snake 
patterns representing Slytherin.
Its pure guesswork but a possibility....just coming to JKR's defence 
here, but I totally agree with your original observation.
