Side note: Lily and James graduated in '78, and Bill Weasley started in '82. So there's not much of a gap there. Charlie Weasley and Tonks were also in that same generational cohort (Tonks and Charlie entering the same year).
Charlie never married, perhaps being a candidate for Ple's short list of Neurotypical Asexuals. He was also an exceptional seeker on the Quidditch team.
The only Quidditch players we know that went pro, though, were Krum, Wood and Ginny (who played briefly for the Hollyhead Harpies before becoming a journalist).

M. G. McGonagall was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early 1970s. They played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, winning an award for it in 1971, which was displayed at Hogwarts on a plaque that also bore the names of James Potter and R. J. H. King.
McGonagall may have been related to Transfiguration teacher Minerva McGonagall.
* The name M. G. McGonagall appears only in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. M. G. McGonagall cannot have been the same person as Minerva McGonagall, as Minerva attended Hogwarts as a student circa 1937 to 1944, and taught there beginning in December 1956.

So M.G. McGonagall was on the same team when James was the seeker. Probably related to Minerva (a nephew, perhaps?) One reason she's such an ardent Gryffindor Quidditch supporter and buys Harry his first broom?
We won't know until Rowling publishes her encyclopedia.

Ooooh, intriguing. (I hope it's not just the adventures of Albus Severus Hedwig Remus Nymphadora Fred Potter and pals. I'm not really interested in that. Not that I wouldn't read it.)
It's not a book. So it'll be something online, I guess.
Answering one of Consuela's old questions, JKR herself states: "Wizards can make themselves untraceable, which is why they can't be found simply by sending and following owls."
This might be why you can't conjure up food: "[Wizards need money because] there is legislation about what you can conjure and what you can't. Something that you conjure out of thin air will not last."
So you'd die of malnutrition if you ate magicked up food. Though "Accio Whopper" should work, no?
I'm not sure how effective the accio spell is in maintaining the integrity of whetver you've got flying at you but I'm guessing 'accio apple' might be a wee bit less messy.
BTW I'd like to know what principle of 'Defence Against the Dark Arts' Quirrell was demonstrating on that iguana. At least Barty Crouch used invertebrates.
