Kwikspell courses

My own theory about Kwikspell is that it exists not so much to swindle money
out of Squibs (how common ARE squibs, anyway?  If they're really really
rare, then wouldn't swindling them and only them be kind of a waste of
time?) as a source of "refresher courses" for wizards and witches who need
them.

Say, Molly Weasley gets b-o-r-e-d at home with all her children gone (All
this peace and quiet!  What am I to do?  I don't know what to do!  The walls
are closing in!  AUGH!) and she goes out looking for a job.  Even though
she's apparently skilled enough in "housewifely" magic, she might find that
a refresher course in stuff that she _hadn't_ been doing every day for the
last twenty years, or since she left Hogwarts, would be Just The Ticket to
qualifying her for a better job.
