Actually, I believe that Fred, George, Angelina and Alicia will all 
be in seventh year when Harry is in fifth.  Katie may be also; her 
year is never stated explicitly, unless I simply missed that (a 
distinct possibility).  We should therefore see these seventh-years 
grappling with such things as the N.E.W.T.s and what to do after 
leaving Hogwarts, as well as seeing Harry, Hermione and Ron grappling 
with the O.W.L.s, among many other things (of course).

Harry will not be without the support of these older students until 
he is in sixth year.  And I also believe he will be a prefect; after 
all, how else is he supposed to become Head Boy...
