The characters and their star signs, are they suited?

And it would run counter to canon.  In GoF, we learn that they are 
not qualified to be in the Triwizard Tournament because their 
seventeenth birthdays will not occur until the following April.  
That would seem to make them Aries if their birthdays fall in the 
first part of the month or Taurus if it's the second part, or one of 
each if Molly gave birth to them on the cusp of the two signs, one 
on each side of midnight.  They seem like Aries to me, personally, 
but I'm not really certain that JKR pays attention to this sort of 
thing when she's writing.  Ron, for instance has never seemed like a 
Pisces to me.  OTOH, Hermione does at times seem like the 
stereotypical compulsive Virgo (a friend told me what neat-freaks 
Virgos are--you'd never know it to look at my daughter's disaster of 
a bedroom).

I just don't think it's possible to predict when someone's birthday 
is in canon, and it's possible JKR may not even have considered when 
EVERYONE'S birthday is.  She's had to include some, for the story, 
but otherwise we don't know most people's birthdays.  I, for one, 
would never have pegged Neville for being a Leo like Harry, but if 
JKR says it's so, it's so.  We only know Hermione's and Ron's 
birthdays through interviews, so it's possible that info will never 
be important in canon.  It was important for us to know that George 
& Fred didn't qualify for the tournament and Angelina and Cedric did 
qualify, so we have rough ballpark figures for their birthdays 
(October for C & A--less than a week before Halloween, for 
Angelina).
