Well, Dumbledore doesn't act 150 either.  Considering a normal person would
be long dead at that age.  JKR hinted that it was a wizard thing, living
longer than Muggles.  But Harry doesn't know that yet.  And even if Hagrid
isn't a fully trained wizard, he's a wizard by blood nonetheless.

So, other than Hagrid, who exactly was at school with Riddle?  Lucius was
after his time, according to Draco, and I place Arthur and Molly at school
with Lucius.  The Marauders and that bunch much later, of course.
McGonagall pretty much had to be at Hogwarts with Riddle for at least one
year.  Anybody else?
