Are you completely sure about this? Your prof may have just been exaggerating to prove a point. 9 months after a course finishes, all of its material (final exam, etc.) is destroyed, because otherwise Mac would be hanging onto thousands of final exams for years and years...I don't think it's plausible for a regrade to occur after such a long time period, because a lot of the other course material would be destroyed/become invalid.

However, I agree with the message: When in doubt, ask lots of questions! You'll be no worse off, and you may find that your prof made a mistake. And try to do so in a timely manner, so you don't wind up out of luck.
