scheduling a bit. I take it that Harry and co. don't take Astronomy 
after the first year, nor flying lessons."

Perhaps Astronomy is prerequisite for Divination.

You mean there's such a thing as "too much" Harry Potter :-)

and teaching schedule wise - I don't  think these kids have all their 
classes every day.

Well I would imagine that JKR doesn't go into nearly as much detail 
as we do.  For instance the number of students thread, or the "Why 
hasn't Marcus Flint left the school question?".
 
"also seem to recall it being stated later in the series that the 
students must keep all their old classes, and just add on the 
electives. Sounds rather nasty, in terms of workload."

...and they can't all be using time turners.
