Yes, but what about the children who have only a small amount of 
magical ability - does Hogwarts take them all, or are they left to 
teach themselves (they might be the ones I would want trained the 
most).  What about the kids that don't make it through Hogwarts - I 
realize we don't know of any who have failed out, but can that 
happen?  Or do they just get kept back an extra year like Flint?

What about those that only get 1 or 2 OWLs?  Do they continues at 
Hogwarts or is their schooling done?  I don't think having the 
diploma makes a difference - F&G won't have one, will they?
