I just want to add that I'd love to see Jacobi as anything in HP, he's just a 
brilliant actor,  one of the very, very best. I f Gambon had not been picked to 
succeed Harris as Dumbledore, and if I'd had a say, Jacobi would most 
definitely be our favorite headmaster..but that's water under the bridge.

As for Voldemorts age--I don't think it really figures into the equation much at 
this point. Is he even at an "age"? We know from canon that he at Harry's 
birth had undergone so may transformations in his quest for immortality that 
he was unable to die. When he rises out of the cauldron at the end of GoF, 
he does have a mortal body, true, but it's still not a body with a chronological 
age per se; it's still not the body he was born with. (Just my two knuts...)
