Not only is "How do muggles find Diagomn Alley?" a good question, but 
in reality, once you got there and saw what Diagon Alley was, would 
you not have second thoughts about sending your muggle -born wizard 
or witch to Hogwarts? To my knowledge, no muggle parents have ever 
set foot on the grounds of Hogwarts (Correct me if I am wrong)Would 
you allow a child to attend a boarding school you weren't allowed to 
tour?I personally would love to attend Hogwarts, but when I think of 
sending my Attention Deficit Disordered son to Hogwarts,I just 
shudder.If this were real,just the inherent danger that these kids 
are exposed to in the process of learning witchcraft makes my hair 
stand on end. Not only are they learning a craft I could never do, 
but if they do not do it correctly, it has the potential for 
producing very hazardous results. Also, the wizarding community as a 
whole, does not seem to foster trust as the various wizarding schools 
are not only hidden from muggles, but also from their other wizarding 
counterparts. I think the tournament in GoF was the first cross-
cultural wizarding event to take place in decades, due to 
Dumbledore's influence. So to wrap up my point, a better question 
would be " Would you let your kids attend a school you can't visit, 
much less find?" over "How do muggles find Diagon Alley?"Finding the 
Alley to shop would be the least of my concerns.
