Ok in case someone hasn't mentioned this before, just
because Harry saw the memory of them in the 5th year
doesn't mean it was 20 years prior to his viewing. So
if they were 35/36 in POA they would have been 37/38
in OOP. This is based on the info we were given from
that interview.  Having Lily and the gang born in 1955
would mean they would have been 40 in OOP and as we
know L. Malfoy was 41, he was born in 1954  or 1955,
forget when it said he was 41. And we know that Lily
and gang are at least 2-3 years young if not more.
I think they were born in 1957. Which would have them
starting school in 1968 and finishing in 1975??? So if
they were born in 1957, they would have been about 23
when Harry was born. Which gives them plenty of time
to have been in the order and thwart Lord Thingy 3
times or more.
Just my opinion and nothing more.
