My latest timeline-related theory is that the years are different
in the Hogwarts universe: It's 2001 here but 1996 there, so books
6, 7, and part of 5 "haven't happened yet"; and Ron just turned 16.

It could still be celebrated... I think that if there is ever a full-fledged
Harry Potter club, analogous to the International Wizard of Oz Club,
character's birthdays should celebrated at the various nationwide
conventions.  (The IWOC celebrates Ozma's b-day every August 21.)
