Potioncat:
As it appears in the books, Potions is taught to 2 Houses at once. 
So that would be 10 sessions (yrs 1-5) twice a week IIRC for 20 
classes a week. 30 hours.(1 1/2 hr)  And then should we assume 1 
class of 6th years and 1 class of 7th years which gives us 36 hours 
of teaching time a week. 

But what about DADA and Transfigurations which appear to be taught 
to one House at a time.  Now we have 66 hours for each of those 
classes.  No wonder McGonagall doesn't spend more time with her 
House!
 

IMHO it just is.  It may not make sense, but it just is.
