Alright. Since all of this 'contamination' I've decided just to rely 
on my own timelines that I've drawn out for myself.
But, if I see something that I think is wrong, I feel I have to 
point it out. If you look at the Lexicon timeline with all the 
Hogwarts students and when they were students it shows Lucius Malfoy 
as being older (exceptionally older) than the Marauders. Where's the 
canon proof of that? (also regarding the fact that he has a son the 
same age as James's son)

Sherrie here:

Lucius' age is given in OotP - in the article regarding Umbridge's 
appointment as High Inquisitor, IIRC.  He's listed as 41 at that time.  In an interview 
given around the time of the release of GoF, JKR states that Snape (& by 
extension the Marauders) is 35 or 36 at that point.  Therefore, there is a 5 or 6 
year age difference between the two.

If they were the same age, I think Harry would have marked Lucius' presence 
in the OWL hall.
