I have asked a series of questions based on each book, which led to some numbers.
The final calculations will require some extra Harry Potter knowledge, which can be answered without the books.
There is also a very apt FTF from mugglenet.com.

The final calculations for the coords:
Assume 51 and 0 as usual
1.Calculate the average for pages and numbers:
Pages = (A+C+E+G+I+K+M-10)/7
Numbers = (B+D+F+H+J+L+N-1)/7
2.For West:
(Pages*7) + Numbers + 2*(number of staircases at Hogwarts)
3.For North:
West + Sirius' prison number + number of fouls at Quidditch + (Harry's day of birth * Harry's month of birth)
4.Take 1 away from each
5.This takes you to the post at Diagon Alley (nice walk from the Leaky Cauldron or the Three Broomsticks)
6.From here take the Northish path and walk one adult step for each breed of pure-bred dragon there is in the world
I have double checked these, but shout if you have any problems!!
