>>but as far as the number of students goes, I just assumed while reading
the books that there would be 40 students per year, and, therefore,
280 students total.<<

Let's not forget about the attrition problem. What with potions mixed
improperly leading to explosions. Various misshaps in Hagrid's classes. A
few students seeing a basilisk or two. They probably lose a few students
when they tell their parents what happened at school last semester!
