I hope people realize that a 'double class' means twice as LONG, not
double the students.. All the classes seem to have two houses at a time
represented in them.  Thetas why double potions was such a horror to
Harry.  Twice as long cooped up with the Slytherins and Snape.  Notice
that not all students take all classes each term.  Harry and Ron don't
take Arithmancy and Hermione refuses to take Divination, for example. 
So numbers of students per class is not a good way to figure total
numbers either.  They obviously only take each class, maybe once per
week, as noted they did not have Moody's class till Thursday and it was
the first day they were talking about it.

There are likely a load of classes we never heard about at all yet.  We
may only be seeing the tip of an iceberg. Why don't all the hidden
teachers sit at the staff table?  Well, the history professor doesn't..
the Muggle Studies Professor and Ancient Runes Professors are never
mentioned sitting there either.  One wonders if the Muggle Studies
Professor is in fact, a Muggle or Squib?

Possibilities for other classes?

Magic Shop Class (making magical items)
Magic Arts and Crafts?
Latin
Language classes? (How to speak Mermish)
Some sort of math classes. Only makes sense that a good wizard should
have decent math skills for making potions or whatever.
Magic Politics/Government
Drama?  (Frightening concept.. magical school plays..)
