I wonder, is there any thing in cannon that can hint at the staff 
using time-turners? Or at least some of the staff. Any thoughts 
anyone? Also, could it be possible that some of the teachers that 
only teach the subjects that turn up in the 3rd year *also* teach 
some other subjects?

>Now, for the tricky part. Let's assume they ARE taught on Saturdays 
(although I have to scratch my original idea of a half-day Saturday). 
That would give Snape 96 hours (16*6), which means Snape would "just" 
have to find overtime to teach extra 16 hours each week, which could 
be done by teaching 3 extra hours each day, save Saturday when he 
would (only!) have to teach 2 extra hours Taken out of nightime, of 
course). In total, he would be teaching 18.67 hours a day, which 
means sleeping 5.33 hours a day (and probably most of the Sunday).

*holds out her maths revision and asks for help* maths is my very 
very weak point - probably why I managed to make a mess of me theory. 
Could there be more than one subject teacher for some subjects at 
Hogwarts? After all, we only see lessons from Harry's point of view. 

Potions:
Gryffindor/Slytherin - Prof Snape
Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw - another potions teacher

Herbology:
Gryffindor/Hufflepuff - Prof Sprout
Slytherin/Ravenclaw - another herbology teacher

Do they have Transfiguration in single houses? In the books it seems 
they do, but they put Slytherin and Gryffindor together in the film, 
which just confuses matters... 
 
>No wonder he always has a bad humour! The miracle is that Lupin's 
absence don't make Snape to fall sick, too!

never know, could have done, but he might have been ill when he had 
another year or set of houses to teach. Or maybe, he like Prof 
Sinistra, has an addiction to caffine *grin* (which would make them 
both fantastic techies! lol)

Thanks for explaining my theory flaws :) (can you also help with 
helping me pick apart 'Of Mice and Men' which is boring me to death 
and I can't seem to revise it?)

How many teaches do there seem to be at Hogwarts?
