Well, there has been a debate before concerning age and hogwarts 
acceptance- whether you must be eleven by sept 1 or just turning 11 
or whatever. we know the twins are in their sixth year in book 4 and 
their birthday is in the spring-meaning they turn 17 during their 6th 
year- it could easily be a similar case with cedric- he probably 
turned 17 during his 6th year.
just my explanation...
