2 years ahead of Sirius/James/et al

If we assume mid-70's for the Marauders to be at Hogwarts, they would 
have been born around 1960, so they are more or less contemporaries 
of Barty Crouch Jr. Of course, we are very much left in the dark 
about exact years for the Marauders at Hogwarts, so this is fuzzy at 
best.
