What do you mean "there was no way he could"? Right next to him sits a
muggleborn student that demonstrated that there is a way.

Yes, but Hermione's parents were very open about her going to Hogwarts, got 
her the books early  and left her alone to read them.  Harry, on the other 
hand, because of the interference from the Dursleys,  only found out about 
his magical background and got his letter from Hogwarts the night before he 
got his books and left for Hogwarts.  Maybe if he'd had the time Hermione 
did he'd have looked through his books too.

Irene:
>Any example is good enough to demonstrate that it was *possible*.

PJ:
It is only possible if given the time needed.  Harry was not given that 
time.  If he had been then yes, it would've been quite possible though still 
not probable.  :)
