Obviously kids like Harry and Hermione who don't know they are 
wizards until they get their letter go to regular muggle schools 
(especially if both parents are muggles) before going to Hogwarts.  
Often there is mention of Harry's pre-Hogwarts school experiences, 
particularly in reference to how he didn't have many friends because 
no one wanted to be on Dudley's bad side.  However, what about kids 
like Malfoy and the Weasleys who are from wizarding families?  
Certainly they wouldn't send their kids to muggle schools until 
they're 10!  Are we to assume that these kids are home-schooled in 
some way, but just in the three R's and never any magic?  Forgive me 
if this has been addressed in the past. I'm new, there are a lot of 
postings, and it would take me months to read all the way back to 
2000!  What are the theories?
Thanks,
