son is eight and he was born in 1998, and he made a big deal about being exactly the 
same age as Teddy Lupin.

Geoff:
My apologies. When I wrote this, I was thinking of the date when he became Head of the 
Auror Department - when he was 27 - and mentally confusing it with the epilogue date.

So then, let's recap.

1998. Post mortem Voldemorti, Harry apparently joins the Aurors at the age of 17 or 18.

This year, Harry becomes head of the Department at the age of 26 or 27.

2017. At the age of 37, the epilogue happens to Harry.
