Well, but if we don't get accepted to Oxford or Yale, we have other choices! We can go to the state school, or tech school, or community college. Isn't Hogwarts the only magical school in Great Britain? JKR has also said that there isn't school before Hogwarts or after, so if they don't go to Hogwarts, they don't go to school? That's what is hard for me to reconcile. If Hogwarts is it, and only the best of the best go there, that leaves a hell of a lot of uneducated wizards running around. <g>
