 What I DON'T  get is why they 
> didn't get a man who's the right age to be James Potter



They didn't get a younger man for the same reason Lupin and Sirius are cast 
older in the film. They have to match Alan Rickman in age. The marauders are 
not in their 30's in the films, they are about a decade older. (Of course, Alan 
Rickman is nearly 60, but is obviously supposed to be 10-15 years younger in 
the film., i. e same age as the other three.)
