The reason Potter obsessives know this is because the "death day" party for Nearly Headless Nick in the second book celebrated the 500th anniversary of Nick's botched beheading. The execution took place in 1492. Therefore, the party, and Harry's second year at Hogwarts, occurred in 1992. The seventh book, if it follows the form of the first six, will span 1997-1998. Maybe a first generation BlackBerry will play a significant role in the defeat of the Dark Lord. We'll see.

Aha! thank you. My nephew may be satisfied with this geeky explanation. This is the same nephew that debated me for about half an hour on who was more clever, Spiderman or Harry Potter. The geek force is strong in him.
