In addition, I believe that JKR stated that she envisualized Snape (at the 
beginning of the canon) as 35 or 36, and Alan Rickman is, of course, 55.  I 
can see where, in other instances, an age difference might present 
suspension-of-disbelief problems, but certainly AR is the only possible 
Snape.
