----Albus himself was surely in control of his magic before 11 (if Lily was, surely Albus was!). Even if Aberforth wasn't (and how many other kids younger than 11 would Albus know?), surely he wouldn't believe that was unique?
Albus was the exception to the rule, though, or at least he probably saw himself that way. Plus, Albus grew up in a magical family, so he knew about the existence of magic before he got his Hogwarts letter. Presumably (from a wizard's perspective) a Muggle-raised child would not even know that magic existed.
