@Guns: Actually, you are incorrect. I believe there are around 250 wizards/witches in each house, which makes Hogwarts a rather small school. JK actually said in an interview Hogwarts was about 1000 students strong. Extrapolating from that, and other numbers found as well, we can conclude the Wizarding world is around 12,000 to 15,000. The UK has 63 million. It is around 4,000 to 1 in the UK alone. I can't imagine the difference in China, USA, etc.
