This is a female who is in either the year below or one of the years 
above Harry.

This is a bit strange, but in the US version, there is a Miss Fawcett 
from Ravenclaw who is mentioned on page 260 as someone who attempted 
to age themselves up in order to put their name in the goblet of 
fire. Also, during the Yule Ball, on page 426, Snape says "Ten points 
from Ravenclaw, Fawcett" and "Ten points from Hufflepuff too, 
Stebbins!" as a boy runs after her. So is there some reason this was 
changed? Is this Fawcett girl supposed to be in Ravenclaw or 
Hufflepuff I wonder.
