Re: Katie Bell 

OOP(US) p575 - Ginny says to Harry, "... once you're back , I think I'll try out for chaser.  Angelina and Alicia are both leaving next year..."
SS(US) p186 - Lee Jordan says during a Quidditch match, "... a neat pass to Alicia Spinnet, a good friend of Oliver Wood's, last year only a reserve."  (It was Alicia who was the reserve in book 1, not Katie.) 

We (OK, my 13 yo dd and 9 yo son) looked through the books trying to find info on what year Katie might be.  Do any of you have canon that Katie is NOT a 6th year, and therefore the more logical choice for next year's Captain? (As the eldest.)
