Kellie now:
This is an interesting thought and considering all the secrets Hogwarts has, 
I wouldn't be surprised.

One comment with the womping willow with the tunnel under it.  I suppose 
that it is possible that the tunnel could very well be the secret passage, 
but the willow couldn't be part of it.  That hadn't been there since the 
founding of the school. That tree was planted when Lupen started going to 
Hogwarts.

I have been thinking about this and wonder, would a tunnel be a secret room?

We know about the chamber of secrets, and lets assume the room of 
requirement is a secret room from one of the founders of the school.  If 
this is the case, it seems that the secret rooms are important or have some 
significance in some way.

The chamber of secrets, while not considered a good thing to the rest of the 
school, was thought quite important to Salazar Slytherin.  And the room of 
requirement, (let's assume that it is Ravenclaw because of the tricky way to 
get into it) provides whatever the person attempting to enter it needs.  It 
has a purpose.

I would think that the other secret rooms would have a purpose for them. 
Something out of the ordinary to distinguish them as different from all the 
other quarky things at Hogwarts.  Could a tunnel be considered unusual 
enough for that? I am undecided,

Just my thoughts on it.
