nkittyhawk: Um... I was under the impression Fred and George were 
TWO years older than Harry. When the trio are in their 3rd year, the 
twins are taking their OWLs which are in your FIFTH year, making 
them two years older.

So in fact, they were in their second year when they started 
playing, seeing as they would be in their third year in the first 
book.
