James and Lily were in their EARLY twenties when they died, if we 
are to believe JKR when she identified Snape as being about 35. 
Snape was a contemporary of James and Lily, which means that if they 
were still alive they would also be about 35, and this is well over 
ten years later. We don't know if Snape was in the same year as 
James et al., but he must have been fairly near to them in age to be 
such a big part of their school lives, I would think.
