I think so too, bc sometimes potions is 1 hr vs 2, I have this for some AP 
classes, and it is completely no fun!  But my theory as to why Ravenclaws 
and Hufflepuffs arent in Care of Magical Creatures is bc i always firgured 
that kids picked classes as to house traits.  It would make sense to me that 
Ravenclaw kids would be taking hard "Hermioniesque" classes such as 
Arithmancy, and that HUfflepuffs would be into Muggle studies. Didn't Ron 
say that one of the Hufflepuffs, maybe Ernie McMilllan, says that Hermione 
has never missed a Muggle Studies class??  Anyways, just my take.   And in 
case you want to argue, "well, hermione took all those classes too...", IMO, 
the sorting hat was maybe slightly torn between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, 
BUT she had such confidence in herself and her abilities and that that is a 
lot like courage, like she was ready for whatever it had thrown at her....
