this in SS/PS when the family arrived at the station?  I've always 
had the impression that there was only one platform to board THE 
train to  Hogwarts.  And from later books, we know that she must 
already know having been a student there.  Fortunately, little Ginny 
knows the answer (and she hasn't even been for all we know).  Being 
excited,  she must have read the letter/ticket.

they can "show up" their parents.

This is the best explanation I can think of for Molly Wesealy's 
questioning of something that it seems she already knew.  But thank 
goodness she DID ask or Harry might still be wandering around King's 
Cross.

BTW, if you want to access that recipe on my last post you'll have to 
copy and paste b/c it didn't get all on one line...
