It's pretty likely that they, and others, made the choice, then never told anyone about it. Harry never told anyone except Dumbledore about his choice until he was an adult, and Hermione only told a small group of friends her fifth year. Ron and Neville both talked about being worried about getting into Gryffindor, and not living up to the expectations. Same for Hermione: we find out the hat actually wanted to put her into Ravenclaw, but she asked for Gryffindor. He didn't specifically say Gryffindor, but he ruled out Slytherin, and didn't want either other house. But Harry got into Gryffindor because he asked. When Harry tried on the hat, it mentioned all of the houses as options, and Slytherin in particular. The Sorting Hat choosing Gryffindor is a placebo effect people allow themselves to be brave by choosing the option. Hufflepuff created the statues that protect the school. Ravenclaw created the room of requirement. Gryffindor created the headmaster's office. Slytherin created the Chamber of secrets. ![]() She created the statues and enchanted armor that protects the school during the battle of Hogwarts. Her egalitarian philosophy would therefore not be focused on separating herself from the school but protecting every member of the school regardless of house/class. She believed any and everyone should be allowed in the school. Hufflepuff on the other hand was not about secret chambers, or offices. It is also mentioned by Ravenclaw's own daughter, one of the few characters that would have been alive during the founding and would have know about her mother's private room. It becomes the resting place for her diadem. This was created by Ravenclaw for her private use. The perfect place for a witch that values intelligence and creativity. A room that can be an office, storage room, apartment, bathroom, and really anything if the user has the imagination to think it up. A room accessed by mental concentration, with it's own imagination. The other secret room in the castle that is never given a clear origin is the room of requirement. ![]() With the griffin door knocker I think it was originally Gryffindor's private office that later generations converted into the headmaster's office because it was the nicest. So either it was designed to change password after any not faculty visit, or it was not originally designed as the headmaster's office. An office that would be designed for such public use would not use a password, because if one student goes to the office, which happens many times with just the few students we know of, then it's likely that the entire student body could have that password. Since it requires a password to enter that makes it too private for an office that students, parents, and occasional government officials. Not the sort of place for a headmaster office. making it a great place for a secret/private study. The door to the headmaster's office is hidden behind a gargoyle. After rereading Chamber of Secrets I think that all four of the founders of Hogwarts had a secret room in the castle.
