Geoff:
It would be extremely unusual for a child to move up a year early. I 
hvae known it happen when there was a mix-up in the age but, from the 
information given, if Hermione's birthday was in September, then 
under the /normal/ situation, she must have been 11 in the preceding 
year and hence the best part of a year older that Harry.
