Ok I was in math class today (not really paying attention 
) but still I'm sitting there in the back of the room just thinking about HP because I was writing a fic and all that well I reread OtP the other day and there is an interview where Lucius is said to be 41 so I was workin on a timeline and all that put that in and I get back to when Min would have started teaching and I go a bit further back right. When I get to when Dumbly started Hogwarts, Abe was born, and most importantly Ariana was born things don't add up.
We all know Percival went to prison just before Albus started school right hence, the whole obituary thing in the beginning of DH well if you stop, and think about it that just doesn’t add up with the picture describing the Dumbledores. Albus and Abe though a specific age isn't given for any of them they are described like six or sevenish right well if Ariana was 6 or 7ish when she was attacked and that was the before year Albus started Hogwarts and there would have been a three or so age difference in Albus and Ariana.
This is going off assuming ages and all but I mean little kids (3, 4, 5 ect) all look about the same age right and the bottom of page 216 is where the picture is described where I'm getting all this. It goes on about Kendra and Percival right and then Ariana and I quote
"The baby Ariana, was little longer than a loaf of bread and no more distinctive-looking."
Yadda yadda yadda right well it goes on later about Albus and Abe
"Albus and Aberforth wore matching lacy collared jackets and had identical, shoulder-length hairstyles. Albus looked several years older, but otherwise the two boys looked very alike...."
Once kids hit a certain age they stop looking so alike alike but beside that point Albus looked several years older than Abe even so there couldn't be a 3-year age difference between him and Ariana. Abe would have only been a year younger than Albus, there simply wouldn’t have been time for him to have been born any other way.
Does anyone else see my logic in this or am I just crazy?
