Uneven Divison of Number of Students Per House--A Possibility

Something just came over me...pardon me if this has been discussed. 

What if all students in a year are concentrated in one or two 
houses? The Sorting Hat sorts according where someone is fit to be 
in. Even if there are a hundred or so students in one year, if they 
are all fit to be in Slytherin, they will all be in that house. Do 
you think there is such a case that only about one or two students 
will be sorted in one house together in a year? Like out of one 
hundred students, fifty are in Slyth, forty are in Hufflepuff, eight 
are in Ravenclaw, and two in Gryffindor. It can happen, if the 
Sorting Hat exclusively sorts strictly based on either a student's 
choice and/or personality. Or do you think that the Sorting Hat has 
some sort of a counter so it can subdivide more or less equally all 
the students in the four houses? But suppose there is a counter, 
with which the Sorting Hat is enchanted to subdivide the number of 
students equally. Then I think that defeats the purpose of having a 
Sorting Hat, because the sorting will be based primarily on numbers. 
Unless all students wear the Hat first one by one strictlly for 
evaluation. After everyone has worn the Hat, the Hat processes, 
compares, and ranks the students. But as we have read in canon, the 
Sorting Hat doesn't do that. After a student wears the Hat the first 
time, the house that the Hat screams out will be his/her house for 
good.  

So what do you think? There might be a possibility of uneven 
proportions between numbers of students of each house. 

Thank you. :)
