During an interview in 2000, JKR stated there were nearly 1,000 students at Hogwarts. She later stated in a 2005 interview that math wasn't her thing, and there were closer to 600 students. Someone later did the math and came up with nearly 700, which JKR confirmed... again. So, I've used enough words to tell you I couldn't remember what her latest number was, and just split the difference.
Going over the class rosters really didn't prepare me for the sight of nearly nine hundred students. The movies weren't even close to being accurate, especially considering my classes ranged from 59 students to 73 in my largest class.

Your times are a bit off. Tom Riddle attended Hogwarts from 1938 to 1945. At the end of his seventh year, Riddle applied to be the DADA professor, but was denied by Headmaster Dippet due to lack of experience. (Official reason for rejection) Dumbledore became Headmaster in the early to mid 1960's. Shortly into Dumbledore's career as Headmaster, he interviewed Tom Riddle for his second attempt at the DADA position. Voldemort was already active by this point and Dumbledore feared he would use the DADA position to recruit. Voldemort attacked the Potter family and became a wraith in 1981. So, he could not have cast the curse in 1984 like you stated.
Hogwarts has housed thirty-four Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in as many years. I'm not sure how the R.O.R. works, but surely, one of the previous Defense professors left their lesson plan or a copy of it.

Sorry for the delay, life got crazy there for awhile and I couldn't get to this story. I appreciate everyone's words of encouragement and concern, it is truly touching. Unfortunately, part of the reason I was gone so long was because of all the ideas floating around in my head. I didn't want to put this story on the shelf, so I sat down and put all my ideas to 'paper'. One crazy week later and I have 9 new stories with 15-25 chapters each. A couple of them will probably never get put up, but there's a few that will see the light of day after my current stories are done. On a side-note, writing a villain that isn't completely cliche is no easy task. My writing ability isn't up to that level just yet. Anyway, I just wanted to reassure everyone that the story will go on but at a slower pace due to the holidays. Thank you once again.

"Trial by combat," Stannis suddenly spoke up. The duty-bound Baratheon turned to Jon Arryn and stared into his eyes. "Cersei will never stand for a public trial," Stannis stated with more energy. "We charge Jaime and Cersei separately but hold their trials the same day. By law, Jaime can not champion both of them. If Cersei's champion falls, she will be executed, and her bastards removed from the line of succession."

That was the Hand's tourney. Neither the books or the show state the purse for Joffrey's name-day tourney pre-Jon death. Plus, that was canon. The average tourney purse was less than 1,000 gold dragons for the joust.
In celebration of his son's twelfth name-day, King Robert declared the melee competitors to be mounted. Mounted melees are rarely done due to the high chance of injuries, but it was a fitting addition to celebrate the Crown Prince's name-day. Robert also set the winner's purse at 2,000 gold dragons, the highest prize for a melee tournament in known history.

Robert's laughter died down as he looked at his Hand. "That is one thing I do not regret." Robert proudly stated. "The boy is blessed by the Warrior, he is. Already won two tourneys and a melee, and only three and ten years old."
