  This has probably been discussed before..  But Harry, Ron and Draco 
all being the same age and all, what are the odds  that Arthur, 
Lucius and James all went to school together? I realize that Ron  is 
the second youngest, which would probably mean that Arthur is 
somewhat  older than Lucius and James, but it still makes for some 
interesting 
thoughts.  


Arthur couldn't possibly have gone to school with James.  For one 
thing, we know that when he and Mrs. Weasley went to school, there 
were a different groundskeeper and caretaker there than there are 
now. And Hagrid has been groundskeeper for AT LEAST the past 30 years 
or so.  (we know that 50 years ago, when Hagrid was expelled as a 
thirteen-year-old, he was an apprentice groundskeeper for a while. We 
don't know how long this apprenticeship lasted) We know for sure that 
Hagrid was groundskeeper when James Potter went to school.
  Lucius is harder to pin down.  He could have gone to school with 
Arthur, but most people think of him as a little younger than that. 
We know he's younger than Voldemort, but most likely older than James 
potter, because Snape was in school with Potter, and Sirius does not 
name Lucius in his list of people that Snape hung around with.  So 
me, I believe they all went to school separately.
