I have seen many writers assume that the Hogwarts has remained exactly the same since the time of the founding. Fanfiction often describes the first students having very similar experiences to Harry.

To give you a little context, at the start of the chapter Harry is talking with an animated mosaic of an old Romano-British wizard which is hidden within the Chamber of Secrets.

If you're interested, please check out Chapter 10 of "An Abnormal Godfather" by BrilliantLady on AO3, or FFN.
