If the cutoff date is Sept 30, it would still work.  Harry and 
Hermione would still go to school in the same calendar year.  They 
would still both be thirteen at the end of PoA term.

Remember, there is nothing sacred about Sept 1 or Jan 1 for that 
matter.  I, myself, grew up where the cutoff date was Oct 31.  I was 
painfully aware of it since my birthday is Oct 27.
