>>Betsy:
>And if Narcissa is about Lucius' age (which puts them in the same 
age group as Arthur and Molly Weasley, I think) why did they wait so 
long to have a child?<
 
>>Halli:
>I would just like to point out that that would most definently *not* 
put them in Molly and Arthurs age group. In fact, they are *much* 
younger. I don't have my book with me, but in GOF, when Molly comes 
to Hogwarts just before the third task, and Harry takes them on a 
tour, she reminises about the groundskeeper before Hagrid, a man 
named 'Ogg' I think. Which means shes older than Hagrid and Tom, and 
since they were (I think) 61 in COS if my calclations are correct, 
she had to have graduated at least a year before Hagrids expulsion, 
making her... at least 5 or 6 years older than him.< 

Betsy:
I checked the Lexicon and it has Molly's year of birth somewhere 
around the 1950s, while Tom Riddle was born in the mid-20s (1926?).  
Plus, is there canon that states Hagrid was hired on as head grounds 
keeper *immediately* after his expulsion?

I admit, I don't think there's canon that states their ages one way 
or another, but Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy always struck me as 
contemporaries.
