Because of the discussion recently about Snape's actions in the Shack,
I reread the scene.  I came across a strange quote from when Sirius is
talking to Pettigrew about why Pettigrew had stayed a rat for twelve
years:

"Voldemort's been in hiding for fifteen years..."  p 370 POA

Hold on, fifteen years? Where did that come from? I work at a library,
and quickly ran to check all the copies we have: it reads "fifteen" in
all of them.  But that means Voldemort was in hiding about a year and
a half before Harry was born if you count back from the time Sirius
was speaking.  Has anyone come across this puzzle before?  Am I
reading too much into something here?
