 As to Trevor's age, maybe JKR just doesn't know
the life-span of a toad (or doesn't care if she does).

Potioncat:
According to Encarta, toads can live nearly 40 years. So there's 
nothing suspicious about Trevor still being around, although, I 
wonder how LONG he's been around?

Potioncat:
I don't expect JKR will resolve all the little mysteries...and why 
should she?  And I expect some of us will be wrong in our theories 
of the ones she does resolve. But I suspect many of these little 
questions will come together and be resolved in a simple way.

For example: Neville saw his parents being crucioed and Snape was 
there therefore Neville was so upset after the DADA class, and fears 
Snape. (Trevor was there too and Snape hoped to poison him so he 
wouldn't tell...(Snape Hates 'Ittle Trevor...no that acronym won't 
do)
