If there were 1000 students
Taking the 1000-strong student body as canon, I fiddled with the numbers to see how that might work when broken down per year. The falling numbers of Slytherin students from 1977 through 1980 coincides with what may be the more active years for Voldemort and the Death Eaters. During those years, Gryffindor also loses some students. We also see a significant post-war baby boom in 1992.
I really hope my math is correct. :)
How does this work for class sizes? Students are organized into cohorts across houses. Each cohort has a set number of students. The 1991 Slytherin first years had 2 cohorts due to the small number of students.
I worked out names for the 16 Slytherins and 34 Gryffindors of Harry's year. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are still waiting. So Harry, Dean, Seamus, Ron, Neville, Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender would be one Gryffindor cohort. They were matched with Draco, Theo, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, Millicent, and Daphne when G and S cohorts were scheduled in the same class.
I really hope my math is correct. :)
| Year | Slytherin | Ravenclaw | Hufflepuff | Gryffindor | First Year | Birth Year |
| 1 | 41 | 42 | 44 | 44 | 1992 | 1981 |
| 2 | 16 | 20 | 30 | 34 | 1991 | 1980 |
| 3 | 20 | 38 | 34 | 38 | 1990 | 1979 |
| 4 | 20 | 40 | 35 | 25 | 1989 | 1978 |
| 5 | 25 | 45 | 50 | 40 | 1988 | 1977 |
| 6 | 30 | 45 | 50 | 35 | 1987 | 1976 |
| 7 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 40 | 1986 | 1975 |
| Total: | 186 | 270 | 288 | 256 |
