I saw or heard Dan say in an interview that he had not been working out
prior to filming the Bath scene, but began working out several months
afterwards.
I heard the Study Hall scene being called'homework club' in some
interviews; perhaps that is the UK term for 'study hall'? Actually I
found it believeable that Snape would forefully redirect their heads to
their books, but smacking them was too far out of character. I think
Mike Newell's attempt to convey the British Boarding school environment
included the notion that these closed environments could be rather
brutal. Teachers did not refrain from physical punishment (some were
almost sadistic with it) and students were sometimes horribly cruel to
one another, as only unsupervised children can be (such as the scene in
the cloister where every passerby is taunting Harry, including Cedric's
friends).
