Is education a right or a privilege in WW?

 So, how did Harry get into Hogwarts? By virtue of his "magical 
wizarding level"? Hardly, since he was not exposed to anything 
magical from age one to age eleven;( unless you count the odd things 
that seemed to "happen" whenever he got mad or upset!)  Did he get in 
because he was the "notable" son of two of Hogwarts most well-known 
students? Or did Harry gain entry because he was "famous" for having 
survived a LV attack and therefore entitled to the best "defensive" 
education as compensation for losing his parents, that the WW could 
offer? 


(Wouldn't it have be a hoot if Harry had not possessed ANY magical 
talents? Guess the series wouldn't have been more than a book and a 
half!)

djrfdh....go JKR!
