Me:

Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into this schedule.  I have to say 
that I like it quite a bit.

You are right that more Professors are needed.  Here are the total 
class hours per week of the top ten subjects:

1: Transfiguration 23 hours (92 single, 46 double)
T2: Charms 22 hours (88 single, 44 double)
T2: Potions 22 hours (88 single, 44 double)
T4: DADA 21 hours (84 single, 42 double)
T4: Foreign Lang. – Latin 21 hours (84 single, 42 double)
T6: Foreign Lang. – elective 15 hours (60 single, 30 double)
T6: Magic History 15 hours (60 single, 30 double)
T8: Herbology 14 hours (56 single, 28 double)
T8: House Sports 14 hours (56 single, 28 double, 14 quadruple)
T8: Team Sports 14 hours (56 single, 28 double, 14 quadruple)

Single being each House by itself, double being two Houses combined, 
and quadruple being all four houses combined.  I have Latin down for 
21 hours rather than 6, because some students will surely take it for 
all 7 years.

Since there are only 35 teaching hours per week, then at least five 
subjects need a second Professor, even with double classes.  Add in 
the time spent grading essays, preparing lessons, etc. and that 
number may rise.
