Hi:

Ooops -- meant to include this too:

<<<All the first-year students take the trip from Hogsmeade station to
Hogwarts in boats, while the second through seventh-years take carriages,
described as about a hundred, that seat at least four each.>>>

Yes, but just because each carriage will hold 4 students each doesn't
mean that 4 students get into each carriage. In PoA, Harry's carriage
only includes him, Ron & Hermione. So . . . I also don't think this is
reliable evidence for a larger student population.
