If we take Snape to be 33 at the start of Book 1, and
Harry is 11, that would make James and Lily and the
rest about 22 when LV attacked Harry.  I would guess
(pure speculation on my part) they had been married
for about a year, if not more.  So that has them
married about age 20 or 21, probably engaged for a
year, so - engaged at 19 or 20.

Is it possible, that Wormtail had already been in
contact at Hogwarts? He would have had a few years
outside Hogwarts to be 'tapped' or does it make more
sense for it to have happened during his senior year?

What does everyone else think? Do we have anything to
guide us from the books? (I can't even remember if
he's mentioned in the photos from Lily and James'
wedding...)

bamf!

(Side note: I've been searching on-line, but I had
JKR's webpage up, but not active.  There was a phone
call, and Peeves did a fly-by and knocked over the
pencil holder...)
