<< Perhaps, wizards have a longer life expectancy only because they 
 indulge in some kind of potion-taking which has an effect similar to 
 the Philosopher's Stone?>>

Yeah! I think you have answered your own question. The fact that 
Wizards live much longer is that they have better medical system than 
Muggles


People in England live longer than people in Africa is because 
England have hospitals, Doctors Drugs (legal type) iF I remember 
correctly it something around 10,000 people to one doctur in one of 
the Nations of Africa (Congo I think). 

So A Muggle could live to 150 (which is possible) if they had acess 
to Potion and Magic.

Do you think it's right for the WW to keep medical break throughs to 
themselves? I for one don't, brings back the whole lack of respect in 
the WW for muggles.

Someone should really remind them that they WENT into Hiding from the 
Muggle world.

Thanks for reading my 2 cent
