Ha! I'm glad you like them. I really, really am XD I have no idea how I'm writing them either - boredom and determination, I think. I'm studying and waiting for a new job to start, so...aside from learning the mystical art of copy editing and playing with kittens, I have nothing to do except write. And I decided back in, er, October (I think) that 2014 would be the year where I did all of the challenges. And look! I have a list (http://evandar.dreamwidth.org/11532.html) of them.
McGonagall is an amazing lady and I have so, so much admiration for her. RE: what we were talking about, she must be absolutely exhausted, but she still keeps on going. And yeah, Sprout has a hell of a workload as well (Head of Hufflepuff as well as a teacher of a compulsory-and-elective subject just OMGHogwarts why don't you have any more teachers?!) so she seemed right for the fic too.
The stairs and other architectural eccentricities always struck me as really weird in the books. I mean, did the Founders design them that way or did they just change over time? But I like the idea of them taking you where you need to go, down the route you need to take.
I think the idea of Time Turners for teachers is pretty cemented in my headcanon too, now. Which makes you wonder - what would Barty Crouch Jr have got up to with his in 4th year?
