Hey, 

This will be short and since there are no replies I don't know if 
anyone's already done this.  At any rate, the Twins should be about 
to start their seventh year at Hogwarts, not be graduated.  In 
addition to the GOF age thing, there's a direct quote in POA:  

"At that moment Mrs. Weasley entered the bar, laden with shopping 
bags and followed by the twins, Fred and George, who were about to 
start their fifth year at Hogwarts; the newly elected Head Boy, 
Percy; and the Weasley's youngest child and only girl, Ginny" 
(Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 4; page 61 in the American paperback)  

So it looks like Gred and Forge will have one more year to test 
products on their fellow students before striking out into the world 
of Wizard commerce.  :)
