I think some of us discussed this early last fall &
concluided that when Ginny (very distraught at the
time) said that, she wasn't refering to bill's
*starting* at Hogwarts but Bill *going* to Hogwarts -
in other words, by "came" she could be refering to
Bill's 7th year, and if he was 18 at the time, and she
was, say 3 or 4, she could remember it & they could be
15ish years apart, and Charlie could be 14 years older
than Ginny which could put him as having graduated 6
or 7 years before ron & harry started

What Maureen Dowd thinks David Souter was thinking on Monday, December 11, 2000: I know the Bushes are furious at me. That'll teach 'em to assume that a guy living like a monk in an isolated New Hampshire farmhouse is some kind of Live Free or Die nut.
