I have the UK edition. In which, page 371 has this: 
"Ten points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett!" Snape snarled, as a girl ran 
past him. "And ten points from Ravenclaw, too, Stebbins!" as a 
boy went rushing after her.

and page 229 has the quote I already posted:
"She is already tending to Miss Fawcett, of Ravenclaw, and Mr 
Summers, of Hufflepuff, both of whom decided to age themselves up a 
little, too."

If the blasted rose bush scene in the US edition better reflects 
JKR's intentions, there is probably only one Miss Fawcett and she is 
in Ravenclaw. A long long time ago, maybe back in the year 2000, or 
in the Late Cretaceious, I posted some "proof" that the Miss 
Fawcett in the Dueling Club was a Ravenclaw. That her name was 
mentioned in the vicinity of known Ravenclaws, or something.
