Some people have suggested that they would have Astronomy, the class 
we never see, with the Ravenclaws, but this is just speculation.

Yes, these are awfully suspicious course selections. I guess JKR 
didn't want to have to characterize more students for those classes. 
I would guess then that you'd be correct in your supposition that 
Hermione was the only Griff taking these classes. Or maybe there is 
some leeway there, if all of the Griffs are not specifically 
mentioned by name when talking about the electives. I always wanted 
to know what the other classes were like, as someone who likes the 
school story aspect of HP.
