Nimisha:
I agree that there is a lot of difference between James's and Tom's
attending Hogwarts.  But,the other Death Eaters like Every were almost
the same age as Sirius.  So,I think that it is possible that they
attended school at the same time.  But, they could have missed each
other by one or two years.
