Susan, thank you so much for the great explanation!  I'm amazed that kids 
over there are required to choose what they want to study so young (14 or 15, 
if I read you correctly?).  I changed my major in the middle of my freshman 
year of college, and since school have had several different careers that 
would've required quite different educations.  Do the students over there 
stick with the careers they've studied for, or do they change careers several 
times during their lives as many of Americans do?  

I hope my questions aren't too off-topic, and certainly appreciate the 
understanding these answers are giving me of the Hogwart's school system!!  
Now the school system JKR has written about is starting to make sense to me.  
Do real-life Muggles have homework on their vacations like the Hogwart's 
students do?
