****Katie:

I would assume it was sent in a letter, or someone actually came to 
help them. We know that someone came to help Lily's parents and tell 
them how to get Lily to Hogwarts, so I guess we can assume that is 
standard procedure for Muggleborns. 

One thing about Muggleborns that I don't think was ever mentioned...If 
someone came to me, or a letter came, saying my son was a wizard and 
was accepted at a wizarding school, I would be like, "Yeah, right." 
And I would really doubt the veracity of anyone that came to my house 
in wierd clothes and wanted to help me find oddly-named train 
platforms and take me to unknown streets. I would probably call the 
police!! LOL.
I wonder if any Muggle parents ever had that reaction?
