Uh.  I disagree.  She's not graduating if we assume Ginny left her out of this 
comment on page 575 for a reason: "Anyway, once you're back, I think I'll try 
out for Chaser.  Angelina and Alicia are both leaving next year . . ."

I don't remember ever knowing that Katie was the same age as Angelina and 
Alicia.  I think we all just assumed that.  I certainly did until this comment.  I 
think this was JKR's way of clearing this up and opening the door for Katie to 
be captain next year.  I think Ron will be captain his senior year.  As DD said, 
Harry has enough responsibility, and I think Ron's Quidditch knowledge far 
outstrips Harry's in general (the boy is clearly obsessed).
