Hogwarts population

No: HPFGUIDX 9784

Some time ago I calculated that the number of wizards in a country 
would be roughly 20 times the number of Hogwarts-aged students.  I 
based it on demographical data from Norway and Scotland.  The 
spreadsheet was in the files-section, but seems to have been removed 
now.  I believe (but am not certain) that I have it on a diskette 
somewhere.  Should I repost it again, if I find it?
