Wizards may be longer-lived than Muggles, but not THAT  much
longer-lived. Work it backward from Dumbledore's defeat of  Grindelwald
and capture of his wand - in 1945, as we are explicitly told  more than
once. He delayed that meeting for "five years" after Ariana died.  She
died quite young (16? 20? Check the details). There's simply no  way
the attack that disastrously damaged her can be pushed back past  about
the 1920's.


Her number's don't add up. Just more proof that math is definitely  NOT her 
strong suit. 
 
She states in a Scholastic chat on Oct 2000 that Dumbledore is about  150. 
That would mean he was born in 1850 and would have started  school in 
1861(assuming that he was born before Sept 1st) and  completed Hogwarts in 1868. That 
would make him 18. Even if we  say that he was 20 when Ariana died and delayed 
seeing Grindelwald for 5 years  that would make it 1875 at the latest . .not 
1945. 
 
If Dumbledore's age is accepted as canon then the attack on Ariana took  
place around 1858 give or take a couple of years.
