Shared classes (was Snape & DADA: hearsay, or a true slight?)

Hi,

Apart from sharing Herbology with Hufflepuff, it seems strange to me 
that Harry's class shares so much class time with the Slytherins - 
Potions, Quidditch, Care of Magical Creatures.

It is most likely that Dumbledore would have been the one making 
this type of decision, so there is almost certainly a reason for it.
I started thinking down this track due to Elizabeth's comments about 
the additional skills required of the Gryffindors.  

Of the 4 houses, I think that Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are likely to 
be most helpful in the upcoming confrontation with evil, based on 
the idea that brains and courage are going to be more useful in this 
instance than perseverance (why do Hobbits come to mind - oops) and 
self interest.

Any thoughts?
