Yeah, it would not have occurred to me that romance at age 11 is inappropriate, as I knew a lot of romantically-inclined people at age 11, and I tend to think of Wizarding Britain as a backwards, medieval society so “marriage at 11” doesn’t ring any alarm bells. Plus, 11ish-year-old characters have already talked at length about romance in the story.
