I agree (also with the parts I snipped) - I wore a uniform for all 
twelve years of elementary and high school, and by the time we were 
in high school we all knew - there were classes that you went to with 
your uniform perfect and classes that you didn't.  Some teachers 
would get angry if your skirt was too short, or your nametag had 
decorations on it (not kidding), or you were wearing the wrong shoes, 
or your sweater was off.  Other teachers, you could walk into their 
classroom and immediately strip off the sweater and roll up your 
sleeves, and they would say, "okay, it's hot, whatever" and remind us 
to re-dress before leaving their class. 

We didn't not respect those teachers; we really liked them because 
they were okay with us being comfortable in their classes.  Often 
those would be lab classes where long sleeves could get in your way - 
which is why the Care of Magical Creatures scene was okay for me, 
because it made sense that the kids would take off their outer layers 
for a lesson that involved "playing" outside.  I'm sure they all knew 
Hagrid wouldn't care.
