Who would have thought it, this late on. Just seen this [#60968]. Sharp-
eyed connection that I hadn't seen before, narrowing down DD's age:
Several weeks back, TLC posted a link to the new Famous Witches and
Wizards cards that JKR provided the information for. Like a good little
Harry Potter fiend, I went and had a looksee. Lo, what did I behold? A
card for Bertie Bott, inventor of the Every Flavor Bean with a birthdate
in 1934! If you will recall, Dumbledore tells Harry in the hospital wing
at the end of PS/SS that he lost his taste for the EFB's after coming
across a vomit flavored bean in his youth. In his YOUTH! Now, we know DD
is old, but round about a hundred is most certainly not his 'youth' by
any stretch of the imagination. There is just no way. The card is either
a Flint or... DD lived his youth in the twentieth century.
