I guess that's more confirmation that JKR can't do math, then.
Thirteen-year-old fathers? As for Andromeda marrying a "Muggle," I
chalk that up to pure-blood prejudice, which doesn't distinguish a
Muggle-born from a Muggle-born. However, canon states that Ted Tonks
is a Muggle-born so the BFT is wrong. Possibly you could acknowledge
that in a note if you haven't done so already. It's also possible that
the BFT Aberforth saw was a draft and that an editor had not pointed
out the inconsistencies and, er, improbabilities.

Carol, not criticizing, just noting the inconsistency
