You're right. There's no way one teacher could teach enough classes for 
all the students at Hogwarts, even if we only imagine the 40 or so per 
year that we know about. (Long running debate on the actual number of 
students at Hogwarts.) Although, are there any public school high 
school teachers out there? How many students come through your classes?

Then add the duties of being Head of House for those 4 core teachers. 
Poor McGonagall--teacher, Head of House and Deputy.


It sounds as if you're keeping your fanfic as close to canon as 
possible, but I'd suggest adjusting the class timetable to fit your 
story's needs, even if it doesn't make complete sense. Send me an e-
mail when you've posted it!


Potioncat, adding the disclaimer that I'm as good at math as JKR is. 
I'm not sure why I keep jumping into math related posts.
