Well the book could have been his mother's book given the age but that  
doesn't mean that the notes made in it were made by her.  He simply was  using a 
hand me down school book.  Interesting though  that they were  using one that 
was 50 years out of date.  I would have thought that a few  new potions would 
have been thought up/improved upon enough to warrant a newer  edition being 
printed.
