Maybe it's another side effect of compression (like the impossibility 
of one teacher covering all 20+ DADA classes no matter HOW small the 
school is).  JKR made all the players except Wood only 2 yrs older 
than Harry, plus she never tells us about reserves, so that it 
appears that no new players have come on the team since Harry.  
Probably not really the case; some 2nd years would've joined in PA.

Wouldn't it be great for Ron to join the team now that Wood is off?
