I disagree. I think anyone can get great grades if they try hard enough.
That might be naive, but it's based on personal experience.

Plus, if you're really not the brightest spark when it comes to academia, a private education wouldn't suddenly make you brilliant. It would make the very best of your capabilities, sure, but if you put the work in within a dire state school i think you can acheive just as much.

And i believe non-typical university families and private educations are seperate issues when it comes to this type of discrimination, although naturally i daresay there are strong correlations and crossovers.
