been a discussion on here before about numbers not being verified - -there could be lots 
of students there that don't get a mention becuase they're not part of the story.  But 1000! 
That would be about 115 in each year. We only really hear of about 40 in Harry's year. How 
could there be another 75 that don't have anything to do with the story?
