I thought there was refence in CoS that said that the
class was going to a long potion in double potions
later in the week, but it never said anything more
than that. (don't have the books right now)

I thought it would make sense to have a doubled class
time for potions, at the least, in order to make some
of the potions. Certainly, not all potions take just
45 minutes to make, or anyone could be good at that.

But then, I got the impression, aka: no canon, that
the classes got longer as the students aged.
