Me:

Absolute proof, no. Strong suggestion yes.

"Percy directed the girls through one door to their dormitory and the 
boys through another. At the top of a spiral staircase...they found 
their beds at last: five four poster beds hung with deep red, velvet 
curtains" (SS p.130)

According to JKR's (iffy) student count, there are loads of Unnamed 
Ones. But these dont nessicarily have to be in Harry's year, 
afterall, it wasn't the greatest time to be having kids, there are 
probably more in the latest years and the youngest years.

I've always been of the opinion that the houses dont have ballence 
enrollment. How can they when the hat is supposed to pick the house 
best for the student. If there aren't five brave girls, then 
Gryffindor doesn't get five girls.

Insidently, how may Slytherin 5th years are there? I can only think 
of six. Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, Pansy, and Millicent. Does any 
body know any others?
