The following events occurred in the 1960s:

The 1960s, like the 1950s before it, was a time of peace in the wizarding world, Grindleward had long been defeated by this point, however because of this peace no one in the wizarding world was prepared for Lord Voldemort's new war, The marauders, The Evans sisters and Severus Snape were all born around 1960,

this would be the decade when Molly Prewitt, Arthur Weasley, The Black sisters, Ted Tonks and possibily Gideon and Fabian Prewitt all attended Hogwarts, roughly between the years 1960 and 1973.

Minerva McGonagall likely became head of Gryffindor house between 1955 and 1961, and Hagrid's predecessor Ogg was Gamekeeper for Hogwarts until at least 1968
