The really interesting question re lifespans is, when exactly does
the aging process slow down?  Because everyone under the age of, say,
Arthur Weasley (who's about 50 yrs old, I think, based on Charlie's
and Bill's ages) acts like their muggle equivalents.  Does it happen
when you hit 60?  Does every year suddenly become two years?  Or does
your metabolism suddenly slow down?

Because if it's as simple as 1 wizard year = 2 muggle years, then
witches would have babies until they were 80!
