Wizard Aging Process

Something has been bugging me about the wizard aging process.

Dumbledore is 150 (or so).  McGonigall is 75ish.  

Now this would make sense if a wizard ages one year for every two
Muggle years: a man of 75 is old and a woman of 37ish is middle-aged
(sorry if anyone out there faints over this).  So that's nice and
logical.

AND...

Snape is 35 (or so).  Does he act like a 17 year old?  Yes,
sometimes.

BUT...

THe trio is 11 to 14 in four books and they reflect their ages just
as they would if they were muggles.

So my question is: when does a wizard's aging process slow down so
he/she can reach the 100 plus stage?  When you hit adulthood?  When
you reach 70 or so?  Is it simply an extended old age?
