Only those who got Es and higher on OWLs could continue for NEWTs, so NEWT students would be fewer than half.
Minor subjects (Muggle studies, Care of Magical Creatures) or lenient teachers might accept all pass grades; we only know for sure about McGonagall and Slughorn. So less than half, but still adds up to about 100 within the general lines of mathematical precision used in the books. LOL, not yours or mine.
Or heck, how could there be 13 professional Quidditch teams.
How long can you play Quidditch? They are wizards; professional keepers or chasers may well play until they're 50.
6 students per carriage? The minimum of 280 students need 47 carriages. 50 students per year need 59 carriages. This is an awful lot and slowly moving down a winding path makes an endless row.
