First, thank you.  Once in a while I use my
brain, though with all the smoke that rises when
I do, I have to be careful to have a fire
extinguisher ready.  LOL  

As for the number of teachers, there would
definitely need to be extra teachers,
particularly in light of the electives which may
be chosen.  For example, Mme. Pomfrey may end up
teaching first aid but she wouldn't be available
to teach any other classes.  Though, it is
conceivable that some of the teaching staff could
be people from the village of Hogsmeade, say
someone coming in to teach how to be a
salesperson or how to run a business.  A MoM
person could come in to teach Civics and
Politics.  Therefore, the teaching staff may not
necessarily be greatly increased within Hogwarts,
though I would like to see that.  With a JKR
estimate of about 250 students per house, there
really should be a deputy head of house as well.

(who would fully intend to tell Snape that if he
wanted to stay teaching he'd have to wash his
hair regularly and have a major attitude
adjustment in dealing with students, order the
houseelves not to light the fire in Trewlawney's
room unless it's cold, tell Binn it's time to
'give up the ghost', help Hagrid make a workable
and practical lesson plan and compliment Flitwick
for understanding that kids need a break once in
a while.)
