too bad Jean Reno from "Leon: The Professional" & Mission Impossible 1 is french and not british.  Would be perfect as well

Which brings me to a point.  I always thought that Alan Rickman 
seemed a little older then he should.  If James & Lily are conveyed 
as parents to a young boy then they should be in their Mid 30's when 
they had him.  This we can see in the Mirror scenes from SS.  Thus 
Sirius & Lupin and so forth should be around the same age so now they 
would be ealry 40's or so.  How old is Rickman?  With his makeup and 
such he seems in his 50's. Oldman (pardon the pun) does seem like an 
old man.  Thats why seeing Robert with a young son in the Full Monty 
seemed to fit.   --Matt P.S. if this was the case though then Lupin 
(the best friend) should have been the best friend from the Full 
Monty as well, and that wouldn't work now would it   :)

ME:

Alan Rickman is 52 I believe.  However, the character of Snape is in 
his 30s.  JKR refers to him as 35ish.  So, Harry's parents had him 
when they were quite young.  As someone who read the books first, the 
parents in the film were too old.  Since Rickman is cast as Snape, 
any new cast members would have to be older, since they all went to 
Hogwarts at the same time.  Oldman is in his 40s, right?
