Lucius/James/Ginny's age & birthdays

I was reading OoP (again!) over the weekend and picked up for the 
first time the fact that in the Daily Prophet article about Umbridge 
being installed as high inquisitor Lucius Malfoy is quoted as being 
41.  I know this has been picked up before but I thought it was 
interesting that this means he was 26 when Draco was born.  Now from 
what I've read in the archives Lucius is presumed to be five or six 
years older than James and Sirius so that would make James only 20 or 
21 when he had Harry.  I always thought he was much older for some 
reason.

Another thing that I found intersting towards the end of OoP is when 
Harry is trying to go to the MoM without Ginny, Neville and Luna.  
Harry tries to tell Ginny she is too young but Ginny says she is 
three years older than he was when he fought Voldemort for the PS.  
Harry was 11.

So Ginny is still 14 on this day in June although we don't know what 
the date is.  The reason I find this interesting is that Ron's 
birthday is 1 March.  Which means Ginny's birthday must now be 
between mid/late June (depending on the date)because she hasn't 
turned 15 as of this time, and the end of September (which seems to 
be the cut off date for Hogwarts).

I think my theory about Ginny's birthday being June 21 is looking 
shaky now!  I was sure that other smashed prophecy "at the solistice 
will come another" referred to her but now I've got doubts.  Any 
thoughts on this?
