montims:

matching you pick for pick - students don't graduate from schools in the UK
- they graduate from university.  (At least, that was the case in the 80s -
they may have adopted American customs now - any British readers want to
correct me here?)  I can't imagine Hogwarts is any different in this
respect, since in all the years Harry went there, there was never a sniff of
a celebration (even though they would have been different years, so that is
not really reliable).  However, I would imagine they just leave when their
NEWTS are done...  We have seen a Yule Ball, but no non-student relatives
were invited to that...

Certainly, I agree Petunia never went to Hogwarts as a student, as JKR has
made it quite clear that she is not magical.
