AUGH!  I get kept away for just a day or two, and everybody's 
forgotten about the utter perfection of casting Jason Carter as

Richard E. Grant's work too, but Jason has just that =little bit
something extra= more Siriusish.

(Trivium: Richard's 3 years older than Jason)

The books DO keep describing Lupin as having a 'youthful face',

Jason Carter is to Sirius Black as Hugh Jackman was to Wolverine
