Hello all.  Christine here.  I was reading the OT list when I had a 
sudden question:

Witches and wizards hit puberty around the same time as muggles, and 
also live about twice as long.  So my question is, if they live twice 
as long, shouldn't their bodies take twice as long to mature/get 
old/whatever as Muggles' bodies?  And if they don't (as I suspect 
they don't b/c both hit puberty at the same time), then do they age 
exactly like Muggles until they're 90 or so and then just stay in the 
90-year-old body?  Or do they look 150 when they're 150?

I sure hope this makes sense.

Any thoughts?

Christine, who is very glad her Heart of Darkness paper is done and 
also quite peeved (:P)that she has to wear a dress under her 
graduation robes.  How dumb is that!?!
