I would think that the numbers would be lower than during Harry's tenure from the next year (What would be year 8)
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Art Crawl!!!
But I bet that there were alot of births in the years following Voldemort's death so that even though there weren't that many kids in Teddy's class the younger ones would have much bigger classes.
Love the Teddy Lupin fic and also the one with Giles and the Marauders. Now I want her to write a follow-up in which Giles gets the news of everything from OOP on and then gets sent to Sunnydale.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Voldemort does seem like a very 70s sort of villain.

I just re-read the Epilogue, and it never refers to Ginny as Harry's wife, just as the kids' mother. Just something for the slashfic minded of us.

Aw hell, I missed the cover art discussion. Crappity.
FWIW, I prefer the American covers over most everything I've seen, though I think the covers for OotP & HBP are really dreary.
Now, if you want to talk really bad, here's the Italian cover to book 1 - [link]
Well, I do have one set of covers that I think are better than the American ones, it's just that I've never been able to see the images at anything much larger than a couple of inches high. These would be the wonderful covers done by Alvaro Tapia for the Swedish editions - [link]

I kind of like the Italian ones, but those Finnish ones kick butt. I notice after the Icelandic Zombie-Harry cover they went to the American covers.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or anyone who wants to write a story where Mrs. Weasly never. fucking. speaks. to. Harry. Potter. ev. er. a. gain.

You smelled the smell?
Clearly you don't want to get on Mrs. Weasly's bad side at all for any reason: I mean she was more than a match for the mad Ms. Lestrange, wasn't she? I think we can be quite sure Harry did right by dear Ginny.
