*chuckle*  Okay, I'll go with that:  big schools and little schools, why
not?  May I please restate my hypothesis to say that I'm just counting
*large* wizarding schools?   ;-]

BTW, I must point out that there's no "probably" about Hogwarts being in
Scotland!  In CoS, "Mr. Angus Fleet, of Peebles ..." reported seeing the
flying Ford Anglia.  Peebles is definitely in Scotland, about (roughly)
25km south of Edinburgh -- and at the point, the boys are still flying
north, following the Hogwarts Express.  No question at all, Hogwarts is in
Scotland.
