Hogwarts Student Population/Admittance to Hogwarts

I was reading up in the FAQ on the numerous theories surrounding the 
Student Population of Hogwarts and I did not see one point brought 
up.  It is possible that some British wizards send their children to 
foreign schools.  Draco alludes to this possibility in GoF 
(Scholasitc, Hardcover pg 165) when the trio hear him say his father 
wanted to send him to Durmstrang.

A second point: I believe that you are admitted to Hogwarts in the 
calender year in which you turn 11, meaning all students born in the 
year 1980 would start at Hogwarts in 1991.  Therefore, Ron was born 
on March 1, 1980; Harry July 31, 1980; Hermione September 19, 1980. 
This is supported by the fact that GoF clearly indicates that Fred 
and George turned 17 in April of their sixth year (Scholastic, 
hardcover pg 189)meaning that they were born in April of 1978 and 
entered Hogwarts in 1989 because that is the calendar year in which 
they turned eleven.

Just a few thoughts!
