I think your math is wrong, when GOF came out or right before I think JKR
placed Snape at 35 or 37???, he's the same age as Lily and James, so he
can't be
35 when Harry's 11, if he was 35 in GOF that makes him 21 years older than


I could be...I was under the impression though that although she made that
statement when GOF was out that she said he was around 35 at the beginning
of the *series*....of course, if he's 35 in GOF (Four years later), then
he's 31-32 in the first book (PP/SP)--which makes a child of ages 7-11 (wand
waving age) *before* Harry was born even more unlikely, since Kneasy is
pinpointing this theoretical child as being the *reason* for Snape's
defection (which was before James and Lily were killed by Voldemort.), So
even if my math *is* wrong--you've actaully argued even more against
Kneasy's theory....
