In this 30 minute special
http://www.tribute.ca/sympaticointerviews/harrypotter/index_msn.asp Chris
Columbus talks about how they very nearly cast Thewlis as Quirrell, but he
thought he looked too much like Alan Rickman.  He thought they did a great
job this time of giving him a different look so he looked like a different
person than Snape.

Does he need glasses?  I don't think they look at all alike.  Especially
with the black wig, I don't think anyone would have gotten confused.  I
guess that's why they gave Lupin the mustache and the awful hair-do.
