The Romans had indoor plumbing, but it was hardly what we would call a "bathroom" by todays standards...plus all of Hogwarts would be crazy from the lead in the pipes. And not too many castles were built with "plumbing" it was usually reserved for things like bathhouses and the like. Queen Elizabeth was one of the first people in England to have a flushable toliet.


eta: I did a report on indoor plumbing as one the greatest invetions of mankind.
