Replying to my own post, how pathetic.

I found this, from the Comic Relief Live Chat in March 2001--

Q: How old are Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape?

A: Dumbledore's about 150 years old... wizards have a longer life 
expectancy than us Muggles, Snape's 35 or 6.

But I *know* I've read where she said how old McGonagall and Hagrid 
are, and that Harry hasn't found out about the longer life span yet, 
and I can't find it, and have no more time to search. Lexicon Steve? 
Anyone?

Argh.
