Just to stir things up a bit, have you considered that Sept stands for 
seven? This was considered a few weeks back, but petered out.
What calendar does the WW use?  They celebrate the major festivals
but I can't recall a mention of New Year, strange given the presence
of McGonagall. 
The current convention starting with January was introduced in 1752,
the old calendar started on 25th March. (Still used by the Inland 
Revenue in the UK with the eleven days from the change from
Julian to Gregorian added).

Wouldn't that be fun! Is JKR  that devious? Hermione saves the world!
Egg on face  all round. If she does, I'll explode.
