"It says that there hasn't been a 
first year *seeker* in a century, that doesn't mean there aren't ever 
first year chasers, keepers, and beaters (although a seeker seems 
like it would be most suited to a younger student than the other 
positions)."


Duffyoo:
The book says, "Seeker?" he [Ron} said "But first years never -- you must be the youngest house player in about --"
"---a century," said Harry.  I think that rules out first years as chasers, beaters, keepers, as well.


HunterGreen:
"Also, we must remember, that at least when she was writing the first 
few books, I doubt she expected readers to be looking this closely at 
the facts and the timelines and all that. Clearly 100% accurate and 
sensical timelines are not something thats a priority to her. It's 
something that she overlooked. So far it hasn't been anything bigger 
than a day of the week being odd (like September first always being a 
Sunday), or Snape appearing to take a long time to alert the order 
when Harry went to the DoM, so I wouldn't worry about it. "

DuffyPoo:
I agree, I doubt she expected readers to be looking so closely for timelines and whatnot.  I think one of her biggest mistakes, including Flint and Mark Evans, was noting the date of Nick's deathday as 1492.  If it weren't for that specific date none of this date speculation could be going on.
