impression I get is they they're considerably younger than McG. & 
Flitwick.



Potioncat:
I double checked at the Lexicon.

Hooch has grey hair. Her conversation about broom types suggests she 
is an older witch. (I hesitate to use elder.)

Madam Pomfrey was on staff at Hogwarts when Snape was a student.

It doesn't say in the Lexicon, but I think Sprout has grey hair.

So I'd say all these witches are older than Snape. 

McGonagall on the other hand, has black hair. Of course while grey 
makes us think "old", black could make us think "bottle".
