You are right - private universities do have some greater limitations.

Your summary is pretty much spot on.  Public institutions can increase the CoA because they have to worry less about a family's ability to contribute to the CoA.  Public schools are heavily subsidized.  Private schools, like Cuse, need to keep the CoA lower to keep the family's estimated contributions lower (needed to determine financial aid).

Think about this - how much of a financial advantage does a school like UGA (or UF, FSU, etc.) have when the vast majority of their recruits are from in-state?  While the cost of education for any student is the same, I would imagine that the CoA (behind the scenes) is different for an in-state student vs. an out-of-state student.  Right?  I have to believe that there are some financial benefits to a public university in a talent-rich state that can keep their best recruits at home.  It really makes me wonder how any private school an keep up - even with the separation of the P5s from the NCAA.

Funny you should mention UGA and the HOPE scholarship - I did a research project once on the impact of the HOPE program on brain drain of in-state students before and after the implementation of the HOPE.
