Sorry Steve -- but she's right.  CoS -- page 99 (US version) -- Chapter
6.  "You could've fried an egg on your face," Ron said.  "You better hope
Creevey doesn't meet Ginny, or they'll be starting a Harry Potter fan

It's a good point really.  I still think the 1000 students figure is way
wrong, but this should go in as an argument for the larger number (it's
not been made before I don't think).
