Andy:
I've not really thought much about it before, but I guess that not all
the staff (and not just the teachers) would have to live in Hogwarts
itself. They would obviously need a certain number there at all times to
look after the students, but I presume some teachers and other staff
(especially married ones with their own families) could/would live in
Hogsmeade.

As far as that goes, they could live just about anywhere and commute
just like us muggles do; perhaps by broom if they are not too far away,
or via portkey, maybe even by the Knight bus?

My memory is rusty, but I don't think a village or anything existed when
the founders chose the spot to build Hogwarts (or it was not mentioned),
so I presume that Hogsmeade arose from the need to support Hogwarts,
including housing staff that can't or won't live in the school itself.
