Hrrm; I want it to be seventh year (the kids are going to be actively contemplating their own adulthood, as well as their imminent Order of the Phoenix/Death Eaterdom, which I'm hoping will give the story most of its dramatic tension)(See what happens when you become an adult?); given the HP lexicon date for James' birth, that makes it 1978. I could definitely be persuaded to 1977, though (Clash album release! James and the boys might not listen to Muggle music; Lily is definitely a princess for the parents, a punk on the streets, and she would).
Lipstick reference, yes; also, Sirius wants to be suggestively licking envelopes, which more than one member of the group (Sirius = rebel; James = athlete; Remus = brain; Lily = punk/princess; Snape = Ally Sheedyesque) will be pretending not to stare at.
