Erin:
Dang, Troels, you are good. I could never have drawn up that chart 
like you did.  The paragraph above is the only one I have the problem 
with.  Why is it most reasonable to assume that Charlie won the cup 
his seventh year?  

In PS, Wood compares Harry's and Charlie's flying styles.  How would 
he be able to do that if he had never seen Charlie fly?  I think it 
more reasonable to assume Charlie last won in his sixth year.  That 
way, Wood could have seen him in his first year and Charlie's seventh 
year, and yet Wood would never have seen Gryffindor win a Quidditch 
cup.
