Julie's thoughts -- For some reason, I had been under the impression that 
Katie Bell graduated prior to Angelina and Alicia. I was trying to look up 
on the Harry Potter Lexicon for more background on that, but the site seems 
to be down in places. Who else has any citations on this?

Here's what Ron saw in the mirror, quoted from HP&SS (Hardback American 
Edition) chapter 12, p211:
"I'm alone -- but I'm different -- I look older -- and I'm head boy!" ... 
"I'm wearing the badge like Bill used to -- and I'm holding the house cup 
and the Quidditch cup -- I'm quidditch captain too!"

So yup, in his mirror vision Ron got the whole sack of beans, when it comes 
to achievement at Hogwarts.
