Potioncat:
I think Nott,Sr. is older than LV.  Tom Riddle and Minerva 
McGonagall are close in age, and McGonagall isn't elderly.  I know 
in the RW two people can be the same chronological age yet one could 
be "elderly" while the other wouldn't be, but I don't think 70 or so 
is elderly in the WW.
