Hogwarts population - I have proof!

No: HPFGUIDX 12459

I know, I know, it's been brought up a million times....but I was 
reading my snazzy new adult-cover UK edition of PoA (thank you to my 
sweetie for the V-day gift!) and during the Gryffindor/Slytherin 
match, it states that 3/4 of the students were wearing crimson 
(Hufflepuffs & Ravenclaws rooted for Gryffindor) and then when Harry 
is flying, he looks down and sees 200 Slytherins wearing green (Snape 
was in the front row wearing green robes). I'm going to go out on a 
limb here and say that all of the Slytherins were rooting for their 
own team, which means that we can just do some elementery algebra 
(1/4 of the students is 200 students, therefore there are 800 
students total), and......YEE HAW! We have a number of Hogwarts 
students: 800. 

Now don't anyone go bursting my bubble by telling me that Harry looks 
down and *thinks* he sees 200 Slytherin, or that Harry has double-
vision, or something---I'm so darn proud of myself!

OT: Plus, I'm in a very good mood because it is 85 degrees outside 
and sunnny and I'm about to leave work! Woo hoo!
