This is an excellent observation! Perhaps it wasn't even restricted when 
Lucius Malfoy was there, and the fact that it is could be why he wanted Draco 
to go to Durmstrang instead. I remember Draco saying something to the effect 
of "Durmstrang students study the Dark Arts, not just this defense stuff 
we've got." Perhaps Lucius wants Draco to have the same chance that he, and 
others had, to study the Dark Arts on their own.
