However, it would seem unlikely that the professors who we know to live on
the premises at Hogwarts are all married, if only because they would (I
think) not be prepared to live their entire lives away from their families.

My thought on it is that Hogwarts would expect the Head and the Heads of
Houses to live in (if only because they might be expected to have to deal
with administrative or disciplinary matters outside normal school hours) and
that accommodation would be available for staff _if_ they wanted it. But if
you were married and didn't want to live on the premises, then that would be
ok as well, and that married professors could quite easily live down the
road in Hogsmeade or even further afield (they would just apport or floo to
somewhere in the village each morning, stroll up to the school, and go the
other way in the night).

Me: 


The Hogsmead theory sounds pretty good. Also, I can't help but think that some 

Hogwarts professors might be married to each other. It’s hard to pair them up, 
though. We *don't* know too many of them by name, do we?

Maria,

who apologizes for making a very short post.
