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.
  ***Katie:
  No, Tom Riddle is MUCH older than any of the kids' parents and contemporaries.  I think that's been established pretty solidly. He couldn't be Hagrid's contemporary AND Sirius and James' contemporary. That's not possible. 
  Avery, Nott, and many other DE's are not named by first names. It's quite possible that the frist generation of DE's passed along the "membership" to their sons and daughters, much as Lucius did with Draco. Thus, there would be two or three generations of Notts, leStranges, Averys...
  But Riddle is definitely much, much older than Sirius, James, Lupin, and Snape. Katie
