Hogwarts is not a traditional British school however and Dumbledore 
might be a very progressive headmaster.  

Our local secondary school put together a year book a couple of years 
ago after many requests from the final year pupils but it was not as 
popular as had been anticipated because it turned out rather 
expensive.  I'm not sure if they did it again.  I don't think that 
cost would be a problem at Hogwarts.  

They may have a whole school photo taken every couple of years.   Now 
that was great fun.  Everyone is arranged in semi-circular rows (and 
this would include the caretakers as well as teachers and pupils) and 
a slowly rotating panoramic camera is used.  It was possible to make 
yourself appear on the photo twice without resorting to magic.  All 
you had to do was to ensure you were at the end of one of the rows 
and as soon as the camera moved off you you run round the back to 
join the other end.
