Very much true. Though, the Dumbledore's blatant favouring of the Gryffindors was also dubious. Especially the giving of points at the very celebration feast. I more or less told them "doesn't matter what you do during the whole year, I give points now because I want Gryffindor to win." Especially the 10 points to Longbottom for standing up against his friends. That was just salt into a wound. (not that Neville didn't deserve them, but really...?) Especially considering that most didn't know/ believe what happened with Quirrel.
56hours for 300 students, sounds realistically. I only tutor kids and I usually need 1 hour to prepare for 3 hours lessons. Even though it's only one child and I have nothing else to do.
It's probably popular for NEWTS, yes, after all it's probably needed for most jobs.
Teachers with Time Turners, our very own personal head canon now. ^^ It so explains why Hermione got one so easily too.
Who says the Evans and the Riddles aren't related? ;) I think that everyone was looking for similarities between Harry and James, just like Tom Riddle was looking for similarities between him and Harry. Though let's say the similarities between TR/HP are not an accident. So, what cosmic reason could be there? Dark Lord needs Light Lord? Soulbrothers? Harry is the reborn good parts of his soul that he sacrificed during the years? So many possibilities...
