It's kind of crazy, if you think about it, all the curses and jinxs and potions and whatever that they teach kids and just the crazy amount of power they hold by knowing such things. I guess that is part of why they are forbidden to do magic outside of school until they are 17. Maybe they figure it can be stopped and controlled more in school and by the time they turn 17, they are hopefully mature enough to not be using all these things in ways they shouldn't.

But anyway, back to your point, I do agree that it would be non-sensical to regulate one and not all the others, and it would probably be impossible to regulate everything, but maybe they could at least have general laws about these things, along with — as you said — readily available antidotes!
