Discussion: Aging in the Wizarding World

[hpgoldenage_mod]

Time for our first discussion post. :)

What does canon tell us about aging in the wizarding world and what is your own head canon on the topic? Feel free to cite canon examples as well as reference fanworks, perhaps a favorite fic that matches your head canon or made you see aging in a whole new way.

See, hmm, regarding the pureblood thing, there are so many things to say. I personally have always felt it was more like inbreeding than strength. I probably compare it with dog breeding a bit more than is appropriate. LOL At the same time, we also know most families aren't really pure anyway.

Also, I was thinking how part of the deal with Voldemort choosing Harry was that they were both half-blood, unlike Neville but some of that is likely more just another way they are "twins". I just could have sworn there was more to it than that.
