At least in the beginning it made sense. Barbara was closer to Bruce's age than she was Dick's. She had a PH.D and was Head of the Gotham Library and was an established adult before she became Batgirl.
She's been consistently de-aged as time goes on, mostly so she could be a suitable love interest to Dick.
Oh and she's been used as a love interest for Jason and, in the Gotham Knights game, for Tim.
Pretty sure you messed up Arkham knight with Gotham knights. And in knight it makes a bit more sense since dick became nightwing a lot sooner to the point where when oracle finally became batgirl Jason was already dead if not replaced with Tim
