[HPforGrownups] If you were Headmaster of Hogwarts...

Bill had brought up a line of thought by saying:
>>I am curious if anybody else has thought about what they would have
Harry learn if they were Headmaster of Hogwarts.  I think that we can
take it as a given that at some point, probably in his seventh year,
Haryy will face Voldemort, probably alone, and only one of them (at
most) will be still alive after that.  If that is the case, then I
would think that it is ESSENTIAL that Harry be given far more
preparation than he is getting now.<<

And I am throwing in my two knuts. If I was the headmaster, and it were up 
to me to prepare Harry for the Final Battle, one of the first things I'd do 
is pull him from the general population. Once Harry has been academiclly 
isolated and insolated from such concerns as house rivalry, I'd start him on 
an intensive course load that would cover all areas of knowledge that he 
might need. Divination would go; no question about that. Astronomy and 
History would be modified and reduced in time spent learning it. I'd stick 
with the more physical aspect of astronomy, such as that which sailors would 
use before the advent of the GPS. History would detail dark wizards/witches 
and what caused their downfall. All the other core classes will stay, 
although they would have a consentraited ciriculm. Physical self-defence, 
basic geogrophy, wilderness survival, basic first aid, a small bit of forgin 
language, and a class on how to use a sword would be added. Summer vacation, 
and Christmas break would be gone; the intensity of the program would allow 
for little free time. And because it's me, I'd toss in a bit of yoga/Eastern 
religion because I feel that he would need the disiplin of meditation and he 
could use the spritual boost.

But that's just me.
