ME:
LDP, yes, I find it interesting that James and Lily get married 
directly out of Hogwarts, then had Harry. When did Lucius and 
Narcissa get married? Was she in James' class and that's why they 
didn't get married until about the same time as the Potters? Perhaps 
they did get married after Hogwarts, but waited to have kids because 
of working for Voldemort?

At least we know the time period when Lucius went to school and that 
he was with MWPP for a couple years before graduating, and not with 
Tom Riddle.
