More than that....  It was less than ten years from when his parents 
were killed that Harry started at Hogwarts which brings us back to 
the relevant academic year being 1997/98.

Geoff:
Agreed, It is *possible* but is it likely?

The problem is that *if* JKR were persuaded to write more, she has 
rather limited the possibilities up to the time of the epilogue by what 
she has written and what she said on her TV interview. I suppose she 
could go further than that point in time but Harry and Co. will 
probably have settled down into a somewhat mundane Auror world 
and there won't be the challenges and adrenalin of the Voldemort years.

My gut feeling is that she'll stick to her guns and stay with the 
Encyclopaedia scheme.
