I'm Dreamwidth friends with her so I noticed she was exploring Pottermore.

What she found was this.

I left a comment at the bottom of the page with my initial thoughts, but now I'm torn between that and WHYYY DID ROWLING THINK THIS NEEDED TO BE EXPANDED UPON?!

Still more credence for the theory that Rowling has the mental maturity of a twelve-year-old?

There is no mention of tuition in the books, only of purchasing of books, uniforms, etc. And we know there is a fund for needy students, which is how the orphan Tom Riddle was able to buy his school equipment.
