I always, for reasons I can't explain but perhaps being English helps, assumed that Hogwarts was a fee-paying school probably because it was a boarding school.  I know I nearly went to one once, but fled to Holland instead... It would have involved, according to my Mum, large amounts of cash changing hands.

The feeding of vast numbers of future wizards and witches must take considerable resources.  A good Potions Professor can't be cheap :-)) and various other supporting teachers within a Desirable School's departments must attract premium applicants with the expectation of supporting facilities to match: ergo premium salaries.  

It all costs money and, as the wizarding world is NOT huge, I doubt if public wizard money could fund it.  Assistance with places would, as it is in various forms with muggles, be available, but the necessity for fee-payments would account in no small part for the Weasley's impoverished situation.  (Very, very proud to have the family at Hogwarts, but forever counting the sickles & knuts to keep them there....)
