That's almost certainly the case for the plot, but not necessarily 
for themes.

For example, the information that Stan Shunpike would have received 
an invitation to Hogwarts probably is of no consequence to the 
outcome of the manoeuvres against Voldemort, but it is relevant for 
those who wonder about the nature of class and justice in wizarding 
society.

You are quite right and I did actually think about this earlier and then forgot it when I posted earlier. It completely rubbishes all of the discussions we have had about the size of the wizarding population. If, as could well be the case, the majority of people we meet outside of Hogwarts, the OotP and the MoM never go to Hogwarts the Wizarding population could be almost anysize. If it were five percent of the population (approx=3,000,000) it could remain hidden if careful and explain some of the MoM's paranoia.
