On the topic, Harry still doesn't know some of the Hufflepuffs and 
Ravenclaws in his year at the DA meeting.  He at least knows, 
however, that they play Quidditch ;-)

I know myself, personally, and I consider myself a pretty friendly, 
outgoing person, had people who were in many if not most of my 
classes all throughout high school, and come graduation, still 
couldn't remember there names most of the time.  Now, this was a 
relatively large school, but these were people who were in at least 
half my classes.  I knew there faces enough that I occasionally see 
one or two of them on the bus and go 'hey, that's that kid from high 
school', and if I were to read there names in the paper, I might 
go 'I know that name from somewhere...'  Some people, like myself
(and my dad, who I probably get it from), just aren't that good at 
keeping names and faces together.

You have to admit though, that the way social lives seem to revolve 
around the Houses, it seems much more likely that Harry would know 
the students in his house from other years better then some of the 
students in his own year from different houses.

Still, you would think he's know a few more names.
