>>Now that it turns out that DD was born in 1881, the whole thing is more believable, IMO. If DD was 115 when he died in 1996, there would be something like 9-10 years difference between him and Muriel, right? She 
was a little girl when Ariana died, but at least she was born already  :-)! I'm just glad that at least one DH inconsistency is down!<<

Unfortunately, it only makes it worse as she has already stated, in 2000, that he was about 150 years old.  Making up new stuff now, because she made mistakes in the past, doesn't solve the problem that she didn't make up the backstories right in the first place.  

Just like Grindelwald's death in DH contradicts a confirmation JKR made, in 2005, that he died in 1945, and that he died in 1945 for a specific reason: "Is it coincidence that he died in 1945," and I said no. It amuses me to make allusions to things that were happening in the Muggle world, so my feeling would be that while there's a global Muggle war going on, there's also a global wizarding war going on." http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2005/0705-tlc_mugglenet-anelli-3.htm

I have totally lost faith in JKR as a writer.
