Little stuff, like Skeletons drop bows, Pigmen drop gold ingots and swords, Zombies drop iron gear

Creepers and Endermen just drop their typical crap

damn it. wouldve assumed endermen would rarely drop ender eyes while creepers would drop tnt? and maybe ghasts too, cause they drop gunpowder.

So let me get this...
Villagers can use doors.
Villagers go into houses at night.
Zombies spawn at night.
Zombies now chase the villagers.
Zombies can now break down wooden doors on Hard.

NOPE! I don't see any problems here trying to save a village's populace on hard...
