How are passwords distributed around Hogwarts?
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowWho decides the Common Room passwords at Hogwarts?How could Sir Cadogan give Neville the passwords?Why does Peeves listen to the Bloody Baron?Who decides the Common Room passwords at Hogwarts?How well are professors paid at Hogwarts?How did the wizards learn that electricity does not work around Hogwarts?What are all of the known passwords to Gryffindor Tower?What happens if a family gives a house-elf two contradictory orders?How did Hagrid enter Hogwarts when protective enchantments had been set up around it, just before the Battle of Hogwarts?Why isn't this Protective Enchantment cast around Hogwarts?Why doesn't accidental magic seem to happen around Hogwarts?How could Sir Cadogan give Neville the passwords?
While trying to answer a question I tried to find some information on how passwords are distributed around Hogwarts. From what I remember, Harry and co always seem to learn the Gryffindor Common Room password from a prefect, but how did the prefects learn the password in the first place?
As explained in this question, each password protected area appears to have the password set by its somewhat sentient guardian (such as the Fat Lady). How does this guardian then spread the word to only the people who should be in the know (in the Fat Lady's case, only the Gryffindors)?
My educated guess would be that their level of sentience means they recognise at least the headmaster/mistress and their head of house as a reliable authority to initially give the password to, who then tell their respective prefects the password who in turn tell the students of their house, although I'm stumped to find a quote to back this up/refute it.
