But wasn't Harry the youngest seeker in a century?  If Charlie was a first year and a Seeker, then Harry would've been the youngest since Charlie, not in a century.  That *is* canon, right?  *looks it up* According to the Lexicon, Harry is the youngest player in 100 years.  So Charlie couldn't have been on the team until at least his second year!
