The point I want to make here is that it is very unlikely that all of these=
 talents could be
embodied by a single school age witch or wizard.  I don't think it's necess=
ary to conclude
that the tasks are merely easy, or only geared for HRH.  I think it might b=
e that this array
of tasks are designed to challenge a 'complete' witch or wizard, one with m=
astery in many
disciplines (a highly skilled individual, indead).  As a team, HRH are able=
 to accomplish
what no one of them could do alone.  <snip>

I thought team effort was the whole point of it all - Dumbledore set it up
so that it was extremely difficult for any one wizard to get through all the
challenges/wards, but each section was set up by those people he had on hand
at all times, so that should he need to access the Stone, he could.  He was
expecting a particular type of assault, by an individual who would not want
to share the power, not a team effort.

The idea of a team led by Dumbledore also supports the multiple brooms.
