For some reason, I'd formed the impression that Hangleton was somewhere in
northern England rather than London. I had an impression of a grim North
Country workhouse-type orphanage in the rain. Wonder where I got that one

Possibly the "Hogwarts Letter" varies according to what its reader needs to
hear.
