Potioncat:
I don't know that we have any canon for Gran's age, but she seems to be 
an older grandmother. Mrs. Tonks, however, is very young. She wasn't 
much older than Lupin. Remember, she's Narcissa and Bellatrix's sister. 
She also has Harry Potter and the Weasley clan as an extended family 
for Teddy. And while she lost her husband and daughter, she doesn't 
have the daily grief of seeing her child in a permanet dementia.  

So I would suspect Teddy had a much happier homelife than Neville did.
