Without anything other than Angelina and Hermione's birthdays to base this on, I could argue that Hogwarts, predating the modern British school system by a few hundred years as it does, uses the Fall Equinox in late September as its cutoff date. It would enable Angelina to be 17 at that point in her 6th year - and cedric as well - while placing Hermione's birthday 6 weeks after Harry's.
