...Meri edited...a lot...

Meri:
> As for Ted Tonks, he is a Muggle and probably not
very interesting, although I have heard speculation
that he was one of the news reporters in SS, but I
doubt it. 

Juli:
Doesn't Sirius say during OoP while looking at the
family tree that Ted Tonks is muggle-born, a wizard
yes, but still *mudblood*.

Meri: Young people lose their parents to natural
causes all the time, though WW convention would seem
to indicate much longer life spans. I can't recall the
passages in Order off the top of my head,  do we have
canon as to when they died? 

Juli: Actually we do have some canon. When Harry
arrives at 12GP and meets there Sirius he tells hims
the house has been empty for 10 years since his
beloved mother died. His father had died before that,
we don't know when.

Meri:Plus we don't have canon to tell us how old they
were when they had their kids, so perhaps they were
old to begin with. 

Juli: But Sirius refers to her as OLD, and by WW
standards I guess old is pretty old (like a hundred?)
