Voldemort's name and Double classes

Not everyone is afraid to say Voldemort's true name besides Harry and
Dumbledore.  Harry is surprised to hear Professor Lupin say his name ( pg.
155  American edition PoA) and Sirius also uses Voldemort's name in ch. 19
PoA when speaking to Pettigrew.  It's interesting to note that very few
people do call him by his real name. Even  Professor McGonagall doesn't like
to say his name and only does so at Dumbledore's urging (PS/SS).
As to the Double classes, I always assumed that that meant they had that
particular class (Herbology, Potions or Care of Magical Creatures) with
another House.  They usually have Double Potions and Double Care of Magical
Creatures with the Slytherins and Double Herbology with the Hufflepuffs.
All their other classes they have on their own.  It may also apply to the
amount of time in those particular classes because they would have twice the
number of students too, I guess.  But that's what I always thought :-)
