*Shakes off the dust*  Ahh, sweet delurk.  anyway, this is a very exciting discovery for me, so please bear with me.  ready?

Percy is one year younger than everyone else in his year. (like Hermione) (or me! yeay!)  

I could have picked up on this before OotP, but the twins made me think.  We know from GoF and OotP that a wizard is "of age" when they are in their seventh year.  The goblet is only open to those who are legal. and you must be of age to take the apparition exam.  However, in GoF, Percy had just taken his apparition exam, and was being showoffy about it :. Therefore, Percy must be born a year before everyone else in his grade.
