I'm going to have to agree. When the books make Harry and James sound
so much alike at that age, I can't imagine why they would have anyone
but Dan play the part. I further agree that it would be a wonderful
break from playing Harry, and let Dan stretch his acting legs (so to
speak). 

Dan's Hair is already shorter than previous movies, so they are either
going for a different look for Harry, or Dan will wear a Harry Potter
wig much as Draco/Tom wears a Draco wig. That would give them the
perfect opportunity to present Dan as James with a different hair style. 

Different Hair, different attitude, maybe a prosthetic nose, colored
eye contacts, etc.... I think they should have no problem making Dan
look sufficiently different, yet amazingly the same. 

Not only does that scene in the pensieve say that James looks like
Harry, but in every book Harry is constantly reminded that he looks
just like his father, but he has his mother's eyes. 

So, I really think, this would be the perfect part for Dan. The scene
would be a bit more difficult to shoot, but no harder than other
special effect scenes.

Just a thought.
