Geoff:
I'm making the point that the school has seven years in its structures 
as have a large percentage of UK schools. To suggest that this fits 
into this "sevens" fixation seems to be grasping at straws to make
information fit the pattern.

You may gather that I am somewhat underwhelmed by the idea. It
seems to be harking back to the alchemical theories which have been
bounced around in the past and, since JKR and I both profess to
be Christians, I harbour grave suspicions about them.
