Perhaps some musings about the Astronomy class could lead to some 
possible explanations.  We know that there is at least one Astronomy 
class that meets on Wednesday at midnight in the tallest tower.  I 
wonder if there might be other Astronomy classes that meet on other 
nights at various hours?  If so, there would students going to and 
from the tallest tower at these "odd" hours.  Perhaps teachers (e.g. 
Snape) have the equivalent of "yard duty" at night - patrolling the 
halls to be sure the astronomy students don't get into mischief going 
to and from classes.  Plausible???

jzim  (Who thinks maybe "yard duty" makes Snape especially crabby at 
night.)
