I'm reaching here, but the chronology would still fit if we say that
Fred meant they haven't won a quidditch match since Charlie left,
rather than the Quidditch Cup. That way, the last time a Gryffindor
team won could still be seven years ago.

Wait, do we know that Charlie played quidditch all throughout his
Hogwarts career? When Fred says, "Charlie left" it could mean "left
the team" not "left the school."
