I think Hogwarts works like a semi-private school, you
pay according to your income, the Wealeys pay less
than the Malfoys for example. Harry because he's got
more than enough money would pay full fare. Maybe this
is why Malfoy acts as if he owns the school (I know it
could also be because his father was in the board).
