There is always the possibility that Hermione skipped a grade or

It's certainly not 'very likely' because as many of us have said it's pretty
much impossible to get state educational authorities to bend their rules in
the UK. If she went to a public school then it's more likely.

However, what I'm really posting to say (and don't take this personally
Sally because you're like the nth person this week to do this). You do not 
skip a grade' in the UK because there's no such things as a grade - they're
classes or years. I know it's nitpicky and that you Americans don't mean
anything by it but it's annoying (well to me at any rate).
