I am leaving my own comment rather than just weighing in as moderator. LOL
I've always been less than convinced about this whole wizards live longer than Muggles. Yes, there are a few notable exceptions but it does seem for the most part that something kills you, whether it's Dragon Pox or your fellow wizards. :P
But a recent thing of note was JKR's little tale from the Quidditch World Cup. Whether you consider it canon or not, apparently Harry already has a few grey hairs at what, 34? Yes, that's Rita's biased story but he sounds like a perfectly average bloke to me. I'd have wanted to see him at 50 with not a one to believe wizards were different than Muggles. And let's not even get started on Draco's receding hairline at the age of 37.
So they live longer but age normally? This is something that's always bothered me, honestly.
