Aurors in a few years, however we know that Tonks is relatively new 
to the force. She seems pretty young, and I think auror training is 
supposed to last for about 3 years. That would mean she would be a 
6th or 7th year at Hogwarts when Harry started, if she was just out 
of Auror school. I suppose she is in her mid twenties or so to make 
her old enough that she wouldn't have been in school with Harry.

Tonk's age has been discussed several time.  I theink the concensus 
is that she's 22.  (At least it's what I believe.)  That would put 
her 7 years olderthan Harry so she'd leave Hogwarts right before he 
started.  It also makes since with the Aurur timeline.  She said 
she'd been an Auror for only a year.  If we assume she was talking 
about when she finished her training (which I did) that would mean 
she'd been out of shcool 4 year.  That would also fit with 
McGonnagal saying they hadn't accepted anybody new in 3 years.
