Twenty 20 Twenty - Always 20

They are going to hate me for a short post like this, BUT.....

JKR said there are 1,000 students. I don't take that as an absolute
number. I take that as they typical size of Hogwards. We have some
teachers here who I assume will verify that class sizes are not
absolute. School enrollment is constantly fluctuating. When it goes
down, it leave school district scrambling for more state funds which
are typically alloted on a per student basis.

So, a typical size of 1,000, in my book, could be anything from 600 to
1400. Since it appear that even if there are a lot of unseen students,
Harry year and perhaps the school in general is on the lower end of
the typical size. 

Let's not forget all those unused classrooms, and unused corridors
which implies a whole floor of one wing. It appears to me that a
significant portion of Hogwarts is unused. Which seems to also imply
lower than typical enrollment.

That's my story and I'm STILL sticking to it.
