Harry's Gryffindor class had like 10 students in it. All five boys in his class - including himself - were housed in his dormitory room. So probably 40 per class - times 7 grade levels.
Now Rowling at one point mentioned about 1,000 students attend Hogwarts - but reading the books again the numbers don't match up and it's not like "Oh there are hundreds of characters there she hasn't mentioned" - the entire sorting ceremony for Harry's year took like two pages and covered all 35-40 kids.

It didn't cover all the kids - there are points when Harry is thinking and only some of the kids' Houses are mentioned in passing, and there's no point in going through all 100+ kids. And yes, there should only be about ten students in Harry's class considering that there are around 140 in his year. The Gryffindor girls in his year probably aren't all mentioned considering that the story followed Harry.

Here's where somebody explains it better than I did. One article - I don't recall if it was by this guy or another person - came out with similar math and speculated that perhaps normally Hogwarts has 1,000 students but because of the recent wizarding war and the immense loss of life to it, only 280 students are there in the books/movies. Or wizards scared of Voldemort are scared to send their children to Hogwarts, another reason for low enrollment.

I would guess that the normal number would be below 1,000, wizarding war or no. But in any case I don't think Rowling went through all the kids and only named around the number of characters she anticipated using later in the series. And regardless of their grade, the grade sizes aren't necessarily the same - unless there's only a certain number of kids that can go each year, but it doesn't look like that is the case. The population could have been lower because of the war, but it sounds like enrollment rates would have gone up because Hogwarts was the safest place to be during the first war.
