Well, we were talking about only Muggle-born students, where it would be
necessary for the child to be in a some school on record (the parents will
go to jail if their kid isn't going to school, no?).  So, to keep Hogwarts a
secret and the lower officials happy, wouldn't you need some sort of a front
for Hogwarts regarding Muggle-born students?  Actually, talking about that,
why haven't social services or some such gone to the Dursleys to ask them
why they are keeping a certain Harry Potter from an education?

I didn't assume that, but if Hogsmeade is the only village with a completely
wizard population, the logical conclusion is that the rest of the wizards
live within Muggle neighborhoods.  And we were talking about the
wizards/witches who choose to move into the Muggle world (decided to marry a
Muggle, whatever).
