Or it could be, as I believe (bourne out by nothing in canon, but 
it's the only explanation I can find) that the owl post interfaces 
somehow with the muggle post office, to deliver things from wizards 
to muggles, and vice versa. For example, if a muggle born wizard 
sends a letter to a schoolfriend who doesn't know that said wizard is 
at Hogwarts, the wizard uses a School Owl to take the letter to the 
Muggle Post Interface Point in the town/area where said schoolfriend 
lives, and said owl delivers the letter to the Official Interface 
Point Postal Worker, whose memory is modified on a daily basis by a 
MoM official whose job it is to apparate around the muggle world for 
memory modifications - under those circumstances, the first letters 
to Harry, which were delivered by the Privet Drive Postal Worker, 
were brought to the post office by owl, and therefore, an owl did, at 
one point, carry Harry's admission letter, and thus the poster is not 
inaccurate.

But I really just bet that WB boondoggled it.
