Well I've heard about the person learning magic late in life on the HP forums a while ago...but I did find this to back it up
Barnes and Noble interview, Accio Quote
http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/...sandnoble.html"Will there be, or have there been, any "late blooming" students in the school who come into their magic potential as adults, rather than as children? By the way, I loved meeting you, and hearing you speak, when you came to Anderson's in Naperville. I can hardly wait until you tour again."

"Ahhh! I loved the event at Anderson's. It was one of my favorites. That is completely true. No, is the answer. In my books, magic almost always shows itself in a person before age 11; however, there is a character who does manage in desperate circumstances to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare in the world I am writing about. "
Anyway, on those sites, they had posted questions to think about while reading the final books (including what Dudley saw when near dementors and what Lily and James' profession was, which werent answered, but you cant have everything) but it was a big discussion we were having while in line for the book...and I def. must have missed it
