Ok here it goes...

Welcome to maths for HPFGU's...

In POA it's stated that they haven't won the Quiditch cup for 7 years 
it is also quoted (in either POA or PS can't remember which) that 
they haven't won a the cup since Charlie was Seeker ... so here comes 
the maths..
In POA Ron has already been at hogwarts for 2 years so 7-2 =5
So thats 5 years between Charlie leaving Hogwarts and Ron starting 
Hogwarts so add on the severn years you spend at Hogwarts 7 +5 =12 so 
you get 12 years between Charlie startibng at Hogwarts and Ron 
starting at Hogwarts. Thats 12 years between Charlie and Ron.
Now the twins are 2school years above Ron and Percy is 2 school years 
above the twins so thats roughly 4 years between Percy and Ron so:
12- 4 = 8 years between Charlie and Percy (roughly could be nearer 7 
or 9 as I'm using schools years) Incidently the lexicon has it that 
Charlie was born in 1967 and Percy was born in 1976 so there could be 
a maximun of 9 years between them. 

So there you go thats how you get the age gap between Charlie and 
Percy.

Hope that I haven't a) totally confused anyone and/or b) made any 
obvious mistakes :-)
