This is my first post here, so hello everyone! I've been a member 
here for a while now but have just lurked in the shadows, trying to 
find time to read everything. I'm amazed by how many messages I get 
each day, it's hard to keep up! I didn't have anything to say until 
today:

I'm re-reading PoA again and I noticed something on page 6 (hardcover 
US version) "... Lily and James Potter had not died in a car crash. 
They had been murdered, murdered by the most feared Dark wizard for a 
hundred years, Lord Voldemort." Wait, a hundred years? Isn't he in 
his 60s now? I don't remember how I know this, but I'm pretty sure he 
is. I'm sorry if this has been talked about a lot a while back, or if 
I'm just missing something. Just hoping someone can clear this up for 
me. Thanks!
