Hitomi now:
Hey guys!  Anyway, I KNOW there is a quote in the books SOMEWHERE 
that states Katie is the same age as Alicia.  I'm in the middle of 
looking for it, so give me time on that, but the Lexicon states 
Katie is the same age as Angelina and Alicia, meaning she 
graduated.  Oh, and yeah, she was still on the Quidditch team in the 
fifth book, Julie, so she couldn't've graduated, yet, neh? :-)  I'm 
looking, just give me a bit, I'll post the quote when I find it!  
Thanks for making me look for this, though, I should have given the 
proof to begin with >_<

Hitomi now:
Personally, I still think it will be Harry over Ron.  Ron got to be 
a prefect, and Harry was never meant to be banned according to 
McGonagall, just given detention, and she decides the Quidditch 
players.  It just makes more sense to me; Harry has been on the team 
the longest, has the most experience, and is probably the best 
flyer.  Which is usually how team captains are chosen, not to 
mention people would follow him.  Do I think Ron could be captain?  
Sure, but instead of doing the things he saw when he was eleven, and 
thought he wanted (to be the best of his brothers), how about he do 
something completely different instead?  Bill and Percy were Head 
Boys, Charlie was Quidditch captain, why not let Ron be unique, and 
do something none of them did?  I'd prefer that myself.  Especially 
with Quidditch and grades being on the lower end of priorities in 
the next two books (you know, behind staying alive and trying to 
prevent LV from taking power :-) ).
