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...
