She is younger than James/Lily though, she also said in GoF that the Whomping Willow was planted after she left (and we know when/why that was planted).
That's just too weird. My math puts Hagrid at around 64 and he was kicked out in his 3rd year - V is older by a few years. Was Hagrid fully the groundskeeper then, or did he start as an assistant (not remembering)? That could be it......
Or are the Weasley's just older than we all think?

James and Lily are MWPP generation was were all born circa 1960 and entered Hogwarts in 1971. James and Lily married right out of Hogwarts and died young, no older than 22 when they died. Remus is 37-38 in HBP.
The Weasleys were probably born during or right after Grindelwald in the mid-late 1940s. I put them between 1945-1950ius. Since Bill was born in 1970, Molly and Arthur need to have been out of Hogwarts by 1968. Dumbledore didn't become Headmaster of Hogwarts until 1970 at the earliest and I think he made Hagrid groundskeeper when he ascended to the Headmaster's chair.
Whew.. I'm an HP genealogy nerd.
ETA:
Hp Lexicon Wizard Pages would also back this up.
