I don't think so, Marci.  Charlie is younger than Bill.  If Bill had 
graduated 5 years ago, Charlie would have had to graduate the year 
before Harry started.

In PS Fred said they hadn't won the Quidditch cup since Charlie 
left.  Id Charlie had just left he's badically be saying "We haven't 
won the Quidditch cup since last year."  That makes no sense becuase 
that was the last opportunity to win the Quidditch cup.
