I was just perusing a few of the posts speculating about the
Marauders and Snape's school experiences, and something popped into
my head: I was wondering why Harry and the other Gryffindors never
have classes with the Ravenclaws. They have several classes with the
Slytherins (Potions, Care of Magical Creatures and flying lessons)
and have Herbology with the Hufflepuffs, and I have always assumed
that the mysterious Astronomy lessons were like mass lectures with
every student in the year participating, but why no specific
Ravenclaw lessons? It seems odd to me that this happens. So here's a
few questions (and excuse the ignorance of an American over the
British school system): How are the houses paired up for lessons?
(Because it seems to be the ones who will have the most conflict
with each other. Good for dramatic writing, bad for learning.) Are
houses in real British schools paired up like this? Does every house
have classes with every other house? Thoughts?

break from school, but will soon be returning to her corner of
Lurkdom until spring break or summer!)
