Who came to magic late in life?

Maybe I'm weird, but I was hoping it'd be Dudley.

Granted, Duddykins is what, 18-19, which isn't exactly "late in life" 
but for a wizard, it sort of is late.

I was really cheered by Dudley's change of heart when the family split town.  After his Dementor attack, he seemed to change quite a bit;  he was even described as "muscular" instead of fat, lazy and bloated as he has been described in the past.  Even the illustration seemed to echo that - I would never have guessed the illustration of a blonde boy shaking Harry's hand was supposed to be Dudley.  And supposedly muggles can't see Dementors, correct?  Yet Dudley saw them, which might imply he wasn't quite 100% muggle...

I would have really loved if somehow the Dursleys were involved in the latter part of the story and Dudley turned out to be a bit of a wizard too, even if a rather weak, incompetent one.
