Sorry to splinch my message, Alexandra, but I thought of something the
second I hit send.
What I'm envisioning are professional societies, which are distinct from
guilds. Guilds train their members from apprenticeship up, but these
would be comprised of only high level wizards. 
Remember in GoF, when Lupin tells Harry that the Wolfsbane Potion was
only recently invented?
So, I'm proposing a proffesional PotionMakers society, where high level
potion makers would get together, and would present papers about potions.
Snape could have attended and learned about this new potion that another
wizard had invented. Anyone could join these societies, provided they can
pass a basic mastery test and afford yearly dues. Then, as you advance
through the society, you get degrees. So if you invent something new, you
get a degree for that.
