Hogwart students graduate at age 17, 18 at the latest. So the way that I see it, how could Teddy still be there? How can he still be a student? And I understand that he was "snogging" Victore.

Um, Teddy was NOT boarding the Hogwarts Express.(The epilogue has him on the platform, NOT on the train.) He finished with school the year before. He was simply there to see Victoire off as she was the one returning to Hogwarts for her 7th and final year. (She's younger than he is.) Hope that helps. :)
Also, as a reminder, Hogwarts' students may be either 17 or 18 (like Ron and Hermione) when they finish year 7. It depends on when their birthdays fall in the schoolyear. Technically, Teddy COULD be 18 at the time he departs Hogwarts.

Yeah I know, I was asking myself the same question: "Teddy was born already, 19 years later would make him 19 years old..."
Then I realised that it was never said that he was actually on the train, he was just at the station. He was probably just seeing his cousins (and his gf if she's still at Hogwarts) off. This would make sense because if he's 19 years old then he could be getting married soon, and in Lily's words:
"Oh, wouldn't it be lovely if they got married? whispered Lily ecstatically. "Teddy would really be part of the family then!" (page 605)
So yes, if he was still at Hogwarts that would have been weird, but he's already graduated. I'm not sure how old Victoire is though lol, I've heard that she's 17 and finishing her final year.
and Mexgirlmindy, Hermione was 11 when she went to Hogwarts, same as everyone else -_-

there have been loads of people asking the same question. i think it's because he was there to see victoire off or because he got a job at hogwarts or something. i dont think he was a student at that point...or maybe they had to close hogwarts after the battle and the it was reopen again, so by this time teddy started when he was 12 or 13.....and now that u mentioned it, should victoire be around the same age as teddy? like 18 or something? because bill and fleur got married within the same year as tonks and lupin...so shouldnt fleur got pregnant within the same year too?
P.S. it was said that Hermione was almost 12 when she started Hogwarts...

in step with risk you're in basic terms allergic to owls. Request this is despatched by using Prof. McGonagall, in basic terms be confident to no longer push back any stray cats that could look henceforth. yet then in case you do get a letter further, and the call Mafalda Hopkirk seems on it, you're able to in basic terms renounce to the shown fact which you're certainly a Muggle. No letter from the Ministry of Magic has ever introduced good information. of direction, being a Muggle isn't practically a curse as being a Squib. So, your situation isn't so undesirable regardless of each and everything.

he's not actually going on the train, he was seeing Victorie off because she still went to Hogwarts (she was in her 7th year). Victorie is Bill and Fleur's oldest daughter, so she is the cousin of Rose, Hugo, James, Albus, and Lily.

he's not going to hogwarts. He's just there to see Victore off, because obviously she is still at Hogwarts.

Teddy is not still a student. He likely came with Victoire, and then "saw her off in style".

as everyone has said before, he wasn't on board. I also asked myself that same question, but then i reread the book, and I guessed that he was there to say goodbye to Victoire.. just one last thing.. he's 19, so his last year was 2 years ago.. well.. there was an answer where someone said that his last year was.. well last year.. but that would have made him 18 so.. no.. it was 2 years ago and he was saying good-bye to Victoire.. hope this helps

he could have been in his last year, or he could've been working there...
