This is one of those topics that we've discussed a lot over the last 
months (years?). Those of us who have been here a while then are 
saying "Oh, my, here we go again!" when we see that, but those of you 
who are new might very well say "Well, WE didn't get a chance to 
discuss yet! Let's have at it!" 

I can't bring myself to stop anyone from discussing what I have 
enjoyed talking about in months past. I tend to favor the "smaller 
number of students" theories myself. But instead of jumping in on 
this question yet again, I will recommend that you read the page on 
the Lexicon about this subject. Go to 
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon and follow this path:

Wizarding World > Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry > 
Students and Houses > How many students are there at Hogwarts?

I do like it when people go through my front page so they register on 
my hit counter (and give a boost to my fragile webmaster ego), but I 
understand that most people would rather that I just link them 
straight to the page so here it is:
