 early thirties when he died...and this guys late thirties very early
 forties.  Him and dan do look a bit alike at the very end though when you
 see Dan looking down into the album just after seeing 'James'. >>

There was a pic of Dan and his real dad Alan in the paper the other day, and 
to me James looks remarkably like Alan. Just who was James in the film?? Cos 
I'm thinking they may have taken the easy route and casted Daniel's real 
father (he even wears the glasses normally). I was going to sit through the 
credits and try and see, but our showing didn't finish till 11:30pm and I had 
an early start for work the next day, didn't get home till around 12:15am.

But I agree, whoever he was, he was too old. That was one thing I was looking 
forward too - seeing Lily & James and also possibly Sirius (in the books 
Sirius is there in the wedding photos), some other members of Harry's family. 
But all we got were Lily & James and even then...
