There are many little inconsistencies in JKRs world. I suspect the HP project just got bigger and longer than she had at first anticipated (whatever she may now say about always having planned seven books) and continuity got a bit muddled. The editors didn't have her fix the errors, for whatever reason.
Glad you're diving into fic writing! I hope to read the results before too long!
