Yes but she also said there were about 1000 students at Hogwarts and 7
times 40 is not equal to 1000. JKR has admitted she's not very good at
math so I think a statistical analysis is unlikely to lead to new
insights into the books.

True again, but as soon as they heard they may have guessed that the
new Potions Master probably didn't have the same unusually stringent
entry requirements Snape did and borrowed books from friends or
received them from a Federal Express Overnight Owl.
