It's common for fans of a world of such imagination and believability
to want to get into all the details of it. The themes and message of
these books are far, far more important than the number of students,
the location of Diagon Alley, or anything else. You're absolutely correct.

OTOH, we're having fun with it. This has been going on for decades, from
scholars of Sherlock Holmes trivia to Trekkies who argue endlessly about
the utility corridors of the Enterprise. As long as we keep a perspective
about it, it's okay.
