Couldn't this also be a question, the age of Lily and James when they had Harry, or the ages of all the Marauders?  It's not too hard a question that she'll avoid it altogether (and I was kidding, btw, with the other two suggestions, I KNOW she won't answer them, but it's always nice to hope--to put the end to the new people coming in and saying, what's with that gleam in AD's eye....)  Just ask, how old are Sirius and Remus?

  I've theorized about this before, but I've runthe numbers again - and this
  is how it makes sense to me...
  If Charlie Weasley started Hogwarts in 1978, then Bill had to've started in
  at least 1977 (yes, I know, they could've been the same year, one born in
  Sept, one born in August, but someone would've mentioned it by now), and
  that would mean that it is *highly likely* that both James & Lily had
  graduated by at least 1977- otherwise, wouldn't Bill (or possibly charlie)
  have said "Hey, I was a first year when your dad was head boy/seeker/etc",
  which means that they had to've been born no later than 1959, (and 21 when
  Harry was born) which would make Sirius & Remus (ASSUMING they were the same
  year as at least james) no younger than going on 35 in PoA (which I just
  nearly wrote as PoU - oops!)
