For anyone who might think this is unlikely because of the effort
involved in locating the appropriate documents and people to
"adjust," remember that potentially Hogwarts-bound children are
identified upon birth. Those responsible for the magical altering
of the small portion of students for whom this would be
necessary would have 11 years in which to track where the
efforts would be needed.

That's a well-thought out one, Red! But wouldn't there be a
problem in the holidays? The muggle kids return to muggle land,
where old friends and neighbours would undoubtedly speak to
them, and that would leave the kids with some tricky questions to
answer, eg 'where have you been?' or even 'What subjects are
you doing' etc. Unless there's a memory charm on all muggles,
at which point Hogwarts and Dumbledore are getting a bit
sinister! And if that charm were to be abused, as all charms
could (depending on who was invoking it) think of the abuses
that could be unleashed on the muggle world.
