Who gets Muggle-born students onto Platform 93/4? Their parents can't pass through the magical wall (I suppose).
Harry only gets onto the platform by good fortune in his first year after bumping into the Weasleys. How do the rest of the Muggle-born students access the platform?
Answer
Well, I do remember that in the Chamber of Secrets, Hermione's parents were in Diagon Alley with her. That clears the air around muggle-born students' parents being able to be in the magical world.
And remember how in the same book,
Dobby sealed the opening!
Maybe it has a special opening for muggle parents?
There's probably some kind of way that muggle parents are granted a special permission so that they are able to go with their children.
EDIT:
Also, the seventh book talks about
Lily and Petunia having an argument on Platform 9 3/4 (in Snape's memories).
Petunia is a Muggle, yet she was on the Platform! Lily and Petunia's parents are also mentioned later.
So yes, it is possible, but I think you may have to go through with a witch or wizard if you are a Muggle. There must be some restrictions, otherwise muggles would have discovered the Platform by now!
