Just because a class with Ravenclaws has never been mentioned doesn't 
mean that it has never happened. Like someone said before, Harry may 
have been in some classes that were never mentioned in the books 
because they might have been boring (or for whatever reason). I think 
that the reason Harry's classes with the Slytherins are mentioned 
often is that the Slytherins are his enemies (well, for the most 
part), and the most interesting things happen in these classes 
because of the mutual hatred. The reason Herbology with the 
Hufflepuffs was mentioned is that JK needed to introduce the 
mandrakes and show the interactions Harry had with the Hufflepuffs 
when everyone thought he was Slytherin's heir.

then she said:

Was Padma ever mentioned before this conversation? If not, the reason 
Parvati went into such detail was probably that JK wanted everyone to 
know that Parvati and Padma are twins and that Padma is a Ravenclaw. 
Either that or Parvati thinks Ron is an idiot.
