There is, in my opinion, a mistake in the Lexicon's claim that Remus 
Lupin Went to Hogwarts in the 70's. Prof. McGonagall became a teacher 
39 years before OP; She teaches transfigurations, the same subject 
that Dumbledore taught (CS); so Dumbledore must have stopped teaching 
that by 1956 (assuming Harry was born in 1981).

Remus Lupin stated that Dumbledore "became" headmaster shortly before 
he went to Hogwarts. That would put the year he began at 1960 at the 
latest!

Now, James and Lily were of the same year as Lupin, therefore the 
years when Lily could have finished school were before 1970.
