Now I'm confused! - so dumbledore is really old then! actually everyone that taught him is slughorn etc... if voldemort was born in 1927 dumblerore is at least 10 years older then him to be a teacher? (although i would of guessed a lot more) so therefore atleast 80. and hagris is about 70 too. Wow! So do magic people live longer? do you think that this will be addressed in the next book?


Answers:

According to the harrpy potter lexicon Tom Marvelo Riddle was Born in 1927. Keeping in with the timeline of the books this puts him in his late or 70's as if you follow the line from the first book we are reading about things that happen in the 1990's, not in present day. (remember Harry was eleven when he joined Hogwarts (1991) in the first book and we have only moved 6 years, nearly 7, in time through those books)

Voldemort, Lord (1927 - present)
Name chosen by Tom Marvolo Riddle in his new identity as a Dark wizard. He chose this name as an anagram of his given name, Tom Marvolo Riddle, because he didn't want to be known by his Muggle father's name (he rearranged the letters to form the phrase "I AM LORD VOLDEMORT") (CS17). Riddle was already using this name in secret while a student at Hogwarts among his closest Slytherin friends. The wizarding community fears to speak the name of Voldemort, as if saying his name will somehow invoke him or allow him to return more easily. The name is pronounced with a silent final 't' (VOL-de-more) (NPC, Scholastic website).
"volatus" = Latin for flight.
"de" = Latin for away from, from.
"mort" = Latin for death.


Lilly and James are thought to have been born in the Late 50's
