Hickengruendler:

And especially in 1999, 4 years before we first read about her, 
absolutely nobody would have thought about Luna. ;-) Which is one 
reason why I think JKR doesn't mean Luna. It would be really unfair 
to give the kids a chance to guess, if the characters is someone 
impossible to guess. The second reason is, that at least to my 
understanding of the word (though English is not my first language), 
Luna is not a "classmate". To me, Harry's classmates are Ron (who is 
ruled out by the interview), Hermione (who is IMO ruled out as well), 
Neville, Seamus, Dean, Parvati and Lavender. You might include the 
other students in Harry's year, particularly the Slytherins and 
Hufflepuffs, with whom he had some lessons together, but Hogwarts 
students in a totally different year than Harry are IMO not his 
classmates.
