Originally that was the case, but there are several other references 
that have backed up this age. Jo said in another interview that 
Sirius was about 22 when he went to Azkaban, which tallies with her 
previous comment about Snape's age. Also, Harry sees the events 
of "Snape's Worst Memory" and refers to them as happening 
about "twenty years ago," which would suggest something between 20 
and 25 years, which also verifies the age of Snape and therefore the 
Marauders. So the ages of the Marauders is pretty much certain.

With the huge caveat that any ages/dates coming from Jo are 
suspect ;)
