Since much of the research for the HP series was worked at whilst PS 
was being written (that one book took longer to write than any other 
due to reference material being collated - per many JKR interviews) 
and since the bulk of PS was written in Edinburgh I would take a stab 
that research conducted in local libraries or asked of friends 
locally would have supplied suitable educational system details, 
hence the Scottish connection.
