the youngest SEEKER in a century.  It was Ron who began to say, "But 
first years never ---" and never finished!  We can only wonder what 
first years never do! :D  The idea that first years never make the 
team is, I believe, Movie Contamination (spray!!!!) - hence people's 
confusion, I think.  :)

Were does it say that Katie was on the team to year before SS?  She 
could have just been a reserve (in which case Harry making the team 
would still be a big deal).  Or maybe she tried out and made the 
team sometime before Harry's first flying lesson.

SS could have been her first year playing.
