Now Terpnurse:
Don't aurors have to take specialized courses for several years beyond 
normal schooling in order to become aurors? Surely there are other 
wizarding professions that require additional training. Did Bill learn 
everything he needed at HW to become a curse-breaker? Or Charlie to 
study dragons? What about the Unspeakables who work in the DoM?

Perhaps there's not a wizarding university, per se, but wizarding 
advanced trade schools?
