I have a question which has no doubt been raised
before- In GoF (sorry can't give you exact quote)
Hermione-I think-says that the heads of the three
schools would be on the judging panel since they were
alive at the last one in 1794. That was over 200 years
ago, yet Dumbledore is only 150. This would also make
Karkaroff and madam Maxine over 200 years old as well.


Me: I don't see why the other headpersons have to be as old as Dumbledore...

The Sparrow:I've also wondered about Hagrid's age, since he said
somewhere not too long after that he thought he'd
never be alive to see the Triwizard cup played again. 
Any ideas? 

Yes, we do know Hagrid's age.  I don't know off the top of my head, but we do know what year he was in when he got expelled (3rd, 4th?)  And we know that he was expelled 50 years before Chamber of Secrets...so just to not be wrong, he's between 61 and 67 in Chamber of Secrets...I'm thinking around 65.  And him saying he didn't think he would live to see the Triwizard Cup has nothing to do with his age....it's because it had been discontinued because it was dangerous and he assumed, incorrectly of course, that it would never be brought back.
