When did we learn that Arthur was at Hogwarts at the same time as 
Lucius?  I don't remember that.

Even if he was, it doesn't mean Lucius has to be 7 years older than 
MWPP.  The youngest Molly and Arthur can be is 46 (assuming that 
they were at least 19 when Bill was born.)  We were told Lucius is 
41.  MWPP seem to be 37.  That would allow Molly to be more than 7 
years older than MWPP and still attend Hogwarts at the same time as 
Lucius (for a couple years any way).
