Asian_lorv2:

Not to be a nitpicker or anything, but I'd like to point out that
Hogwarts while IN Scotland, is not a Scottish school.

Although, I admit that we have nothing but real world schools to use
as a reference point. 

Just curious, is it Feb/Mar of the year in which you start school, or
is it Feb/Mar of the following year? Example; turn 11 Feb/Mar of 2000,
start school Sept 2000, or start school Sept 2000, turn 11 in Feb.mar
2001?

Just curious.
