In my head canon, there are far more than 11 schools (worldwide), and the wizarding community is far greater than the books suggest.

Certainly, not as numerous as the Muggle population, but big.

I also think (again, head canon here) that families that have particular cultural practices/beliefs (Muggle wise) often have actual magic int he family, but only a few wizards or witches are actually born into the family (i.e. maybe the great grandmother was somewhat a seer, or the uncle had an "uncanny" sense of intuition, and then two generations later a witch or wizard is born, but there already is somewhat of an understanding of the child's magical condition). In some cases, the families might choose to home school (or ship off to a school, provided there is enough money to pay for the school...) or ignore the powers, etc.

Sidenote: I'm so happy you wrote this secret :) I'm on an HP binge, so seeing this and thinking about these things makes me happy. Thanks,OP.
