I've been thinking about this and actually have come to the conclusion 
that the long life span could be possible.  After all, this is the

than muggles, so a magical person affected by a curse which turns them 
into a magical beast I feel could indeed have an extremely unnatural 
life span.  Just my initial feelings on the theory.
