[HPforGrownUps] Marcus Flint

I know, we are all so anal with the incongruancies in the plot line, and we 
should be focusing on the story, but I look upon all of us, myself included, 
as having our notice of them being attributed to our supreme knowledge and 
vast fandom.  So yes, that little piece was me warming up to say I found one 
that I didn't remember being discussed before and was wondering if anyone 
ahd an explanation.

In Book 1, Marcus Flint is described as being a 6th year.  Now, we all know 
that students spend 7 years at Hogwarts, and I would think that if you 
failed a level, they wouldnt be keen on your continuing with things.  So, If 
Flint is STILL Slytherin Captain in PoA, that would put him in his 8th 
year....was this ever explained, because i certainly dont remember it to be 
so.

In case there is a ? as to how I know he is a 6th year, and some people on 
this list question everything <eg> kidding kidding, i was kind enough<g> to 
enclose the quote.

"Harry noticed that she seemed to be speaking particularly to the Slytherin 
Captain, Marcus Flint, a 6th Year"
