Beth replies:
Oops, I'm an idiot!You are absolutely right, Tom Riddle/Lord thingy 
is much older than I was thinking. In my stupid, pre-coffee brain 
this morning, I thought for some reason that he graduated around the 
same time that James and Lily did. But yes, you are right; Ian 
*would* be the perfect age, since Tom was class of '45.
