Alla:

Me neither actually. After JKR mentioned that wizards life span is 
much longer than us, muggles, I never consider McGonagall to be an 
elderly woman. Middle-aged, maybe, but definitely not elderly. I 
always consider her 70 to be like our 40s maybe.

Come to think about it, Sirius and Snape are so VERY YOUNG under our 
standards. Maybe that is why they still did not get rid of their 
childish behaviour? :)
