As far as I remember, JKR never *wrote* that DD was 150 years old, she just *said* it - it was a transcript of a live chat. There was a theory that whoever transcribed the chat mistook JKR's "one hundred and fifteen" for "one hundred and fifty" :-). Besides, JKR said it in 2001, and that was a long time ago... She could have changed her mind about DD's age since then :-).
