That makes sense. Using your estimate of 10 years difference between 
HRH and Charlie, I put the various ages in book 1 at: Bill=22?, 
Charlie=21, Percy=15, Fred & George=13, Ron=11, Ginny=10. (Ages 26, 
25, 29, 18, 16, 15 in book 5.)  The Lexicon says 12 years between 
Ron and Charlie, but that is calculated using book 3 not book 1.
