Honey:
You have convinced me. It would be just too out of character for Percy
*not* to get his Apparition license the minute he turned seventeen, or
at least the next school vacation after his birthday. He got his
license in the summer of 1994, and so must have turned seventeen
during the '93-94 school year. Thus he was born in 1976 or 1977, and
must be four or five years younger than Charlie.
I guess I can accept that as being consistent with her idea of not a
large gap between them.
Now, is there any canon at all regarding the gap between Bill and
Charlie? Other than the recent WBD chat, I mean.
