 I agree with all ponderings previously stated, and wish to add one 
more; fear of injury to students and relatives! We saw what happened 
to Harry's aunt when he "blew her up!" That was quite a scandal and 
caused a lot of time and effort to cover up. There's quite a bit of 
damage that can be done if students are inefficiently using magic all 
around the country during the holidays. And no Madame Pomfrey to 
doctor their ailments when they hurt themselves and others. What if 
one of the students tried what Victor Krum tried in book 4, an 
incomplete form of human transfiguration, and then couldn't change 
back? A fine mess that would be. Without an on call doctor or nurse 
it's pretty dangerous. Especially when some of these "wizards-to-be" 
and "witches-to-be" are coming from all muggle households. The 
Dursleys delt with the matter of removing Dudley's curly pig tail, 
remember, by taking him to hospital.
