Some of her earliest memories would be connected with that, although I agree her phrasing is a little weird: as the chronology would have it, it is unlikely that she could remember a time when Bill was the only Weasley to Hogwarts, so if she'd said  "when Bill and Charlie were here", there 
would have been no confusion. However, considering she's just been through a traumatic experience, it's not impossible that this is what she actually meant.

 

Me:  Personally, I think this is just another JKR Flint based on her innumeracy.  (Although she COULD use Ginny's trauma as an excuse. <g>)  Perhaps she'll fix this at some point to say, "Ever since Percy went," since that would make the most sense.  Ginny would have been six years old when Percy went to Hogwarts, but her two oldest brothers were probably born in the sixties and she wasn't born until 1981, so she would have been barely sentient when they FINISHED school, and not even a gleam in Arthur's eye when they started.
