This brings up a point I've been wondering about for a
while now.  Clearly, there are Muggle-born students
like Hermione and Dean who managed to find their way
to Platform 9 3/4 and arrive at Hogwarts with all this
wonderful magical gear.  So...how do they find out
about Diagon Alley or Platform 9 3/4?  

The letter Harry got is apparently a form letter sent
out to all Hogwarts prospectives, but they don't all
have Hagrid to explain everything to them.  So what do
ordinary Muggle kids like Hermione do when they
suddenly get a letter inviting them to attend a school
for witchcraft and wizardry?  Do the Muggle-born get a
special letter tucked in to explain things to them? 
Do they get visits from the different professors?
