bboy_mn:
Remember that Wizards live about twice as long as Muggles, so in
Muggle years (relative to a muggle lifespan) Molly is between 35 and
40 years old. So yes, I believe she could easily have a 10 year old kid. 

Logically, if they can live twice as long, the child bearing years are
also twices as long. At age 70, Arthur and Molly are on the low end of
 middle age.

Just a thought.
