Lady Macbeth:
I don't think so. Just because they're a few years apart doesn't mean they
can't be friends. If that were the case, most of the Quidditch teams
wouldn't get along very well, as they seem to be made up of students from
all grade levels.
 

Me -

But there aren't any real cross-year friendships. Harry gets on with his
teammates in the early books but I wouldn't have said he was friends with
any of them - except maybe the Twins and that's more because they're Ron's
brothers. And 4 years is quite a gap when you're a teenager. Sev would have
been a third year when Lucius sat his NEWTS - other than a theoretical
interest in Quidditch (and I'm not entirely convinced I can see Sev as a
Quidditch player, although I imagine all that swooping around would suit his
dramatic tendencies) what on earth would they have had in common?
