Well, it depends on when you think they started. There are several schools of thought.
I have my MWPP starting in 1971 which means they finished in the spring of 1978. That's more or less what the HP Lexicon says here:

That's based on JKR's comment about Snape being 35 years old.
However, I've seen some people start them far earlier so that they were adults longer before the end of the Voldemort war. This view is based on a difference of opinion about when exactly JKR meant Snape was 35 years old.
