I agree, A junior Snape would be very interesting indeed...

I think that perhaps they cast the role of Lily to a *name* actress 
because we may be reliving the scenes of and prior to Lily and James' 
death. I knokw we shortly relived them in PS/SS, but I think there 
will be a much more involved scene in the coming books, in order to 
clarify just why LV was after them in the first place and what their 
jobs were...Maybe they were preparing for OoP to be made into a film 
because didn't JKR say that we will be finding out about Harry's 
parents jobs and also finding out something HUGE about Lily??
