We don't know if the aging potion makes one feeble, or how the 
aging process affects wizards. Dumbledore's ability to do magic 
certainly isn't impaired and the narrative remarks on "his 
extraordinary strength for one so old and thin" GoFch. 35.

Also, a young (and attractive?)  woman living on her own in a 
suburban neighborhood like Privet Drive would attract a lot more 
attention from snoopy neighbors like Petunia than an elderly 
widow in the same circumstances.
