In GoF, when Harry & Co are talking to Sirius about the missing Bertha
Jorkins, Sirius says that she was 2 years ahead of them at Hogwarts.  As for
the ages of Lucius and the others - you could be right.  We were going on
the basis of JKR saying Snape was 34-35 in PoA, making him 37 now and Lucius
4 years older than him, but if he and the Marauders were born in 1960 as the
Lexicon says, then he'd have been 33 in PoA and 35 now.  Which means Lucius
was 6-7 years older than Snape and the Marauders and, as you say, out of
Hogwarts by the time of the kissing incident.
