All the teachers seem to know the students names rather well (save
Binns who can't get anyones name right in CoS). Perhaps they get a
class role with the photos of the children on it. I do recall that
only Snape and I believe Flitwick start their classes by calling roll
on the first day of class in SS/PS. I venture to guess that Snape only
did this so he could humiliate Potter.
