Just a thought, and I'm sorry if it already been discussed, but how
do they know how many student there will be? I mean, from cannon we *know* (well
we think we do....) that only 10 kids per house get admitted so, how do they
know that exactly 40 students will be coming to Hogwarts and that exactly 10 of
them will be in each house, 5 boys, 5 girls? What happens if 9 boys end up in
Slytherin or 15 kids manage to make the Hufflepuffs any other house?
