<snip a bunch of points from Andrea>

I am glad to see that people are interested in potential Hogwarts 
curricula.  It seems that everybody thinks that my proposed 
curriculum is too heavy on Muggle subjects, and maybe they could be 
scaled back somewhat (especially PE), but I would still like to see a 
solid grounding in Muggle subjects - I do not want any more 'Archies' 
running around in dresses, or walking in front of buses.

So how about some sample curricula of your own?  How many subjects 
would be compulsary, and how many elective?  How many Professors 
would be on staff?  You cannot schedule too many subjects, or the 
students will run out of free time due to homework, but too few 
subjects, and they are losing learning opportunities.

How about other issues?  One that comes to mind is the total lack of 
safety concerns for Quidditch players - Harry survived the hexed 
broom and Bludger by sheer luck, not the efforts of the staff.  They 
didn't even pause the game!  What if he HAD died?  I can just see the 
letter to his parents (if they were alive): "Dear Mr. and Mrs. 
Potter, Sorry about your son being hit and killed by a rogue Bludger, 
which was enchanted to chase only him, but it was the middle of an 
exiting game of Quidditch, and we didn't want to stop the game to 
disable the Bludger.  Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore."
