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 :-) ).
