To buy a candy bar for each of the 126 students in Ravenclaw House, it would cost approximately $0.0167 per student.

To find the cost of buying a candy bar for each of the students, we need to divide the total cost of three candy bars by the number of students.

Let's calculate it:

First, we find the cost of one candy bar by dividing the total cost of three candy bars by 3: $6.33 / 3 = $2.11.
Next, we divide the cost of one candy bar by the number of students: $2.11 / 126 = $0.0167 (rounded to four decimal places).

Therefore, it would cost approximately $0.0167 to buy a candy bar for each of the students in Ravenclaw House.
