| How old are Mr and Mrs Weasley?? They went to Hogwarts before Voldemort and he's gotta be at least 65 if the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago and he was 15 or 16 at the time. Confused as I didn't think Mr and Mrs were so old or have I worked it out all wrong? |

The Weasleys definitely did not go to Hogwarts before Voldemort. Where did you get that idea? 
They were born c. 1950. Voldemort was born c. 1926.

Because in th Goblet of Fire Mrs Weasley tells Harry that th Game Keeper when she was at school wasn't Hagrid, and Hagrid became Gamekeeper after he was expelled from Hogwarts, how long after I'm not sure of.

A man called Ogg was Gamekeeper before Hagrid.

^yeah, Mrs. Weasley reminisced about how they used to walk late around the grounds and they got caught by Ogg. But we don't know how long Hagrid was in Azkaban. So yeah it would seem they're quite old, though not so old for wizards actually. let me check the lexicon. yeah they have it circa 1950 there. they say they put that date because their first son was born in 1971. they seem to have forgotten about Ogg. They got married quickly during the first war...it seems something young people would do, not older people. hmmmm.
it has this to say about arthurs maybe parents

The husband of Cedrella Black (born between 1912 and 1917). Cedrella's marriage to Septimus (was he a Muggle sympathizer too?) caused her to be "blasted" from the Black Family Tree.
Although unconfirmed by Rowling, there is reasonable certainty that Septimus and Cedrella were Arthur Weasley's parents. If this is the case, Septimus could be the grandfather that gave Ron the Wizard Chess set (PS12). See my Notes, below. |
but that would make Cedrella quite old when she had Arthur. So it seems there is quite a bit of wiggle room here.

yeah, i dont believe they are older than voldemort. misinterpretted the facts i think. and that would make hagrid only a few years younger than voldemort...must be the giant blood that keeps him young.
