Lupin must have a young-looking, lined face, so whoever they select, he must
be someone who looks a bit prematurely aged. Timothy Dalton might fill this
bill; I'm not sure about Jeremy Irons. And it must be someone who will be
convincing as a schoolmate of Snape, played by the perfect but yes,
technically too old Alan Rickman. Rickman's age sets the parameters for
Lupin (and Sirius).

Also, just FYI, Alan Rickman is 56; he was born on February 21, 1946. More
accurate to say he's "around 55."
