I've always assumed this.  I doubt that the MoM regards other kids as
requiring observation - because most kids have parents/guardians to
keep an eye on that kind of thing (we'll assume inadvertant or
inexperienced magic can be dangerous, like letting a kid play with
matches), they live in separate communities away from muggles, etc.

As far as the MoM is concerned, Harry's a special case.
