I think Hermione was showing off saying that she had done magic at home. She said she had practiced loads of spells when Ron tried to turn Scabbers yellow. Obviously she was full of dragon dung.

Maybe it's to make it more magical. Of course, it is between two platforms....

And maybe the barrier is closer to platform 10 than nine, thus 3/4 instead of 1/2.
My old roommate and I had a room that was 3 stairs higher than the second floor, so we called our place floor 2 and 3/16. edit: Quote:

ah!
i always saw the 3/4 thing as a metaphor between the strictly scientific based rigidity of the world of the muggles and the rather more free-form chaotic rules of magic ... best, BB |

I agree about the 9-3/4, I don't think the numbers are really important. It just sounds much more fun and mysterious than 9-1/2. And, I can't believe I forgot about all the magic on the train rides home.

Add the numbers of Platform 9 3/4 together ... 9+3+4 = 16, and 1+6=7. And seven 'is a magic number' i the hp world.
