I remember working this out when I first joined the list, but for the 
life of me I couldn't find the post when I went digging for it.  She 
would only be about 51.25 days older, not "much" older.  This is 
based on her gaining 6 hours per day 5 days a week for 41 weeks.  As 
to whether she'd be more, erm, "physically" developed being less than 
two months older...It's highly doubtful that anyone would really 
notice a difference.

On the other hand, if she was born in 1980 and not 1979 (the debate 
rages on...) she would now be older than Harry by 1.25 days.
