As Harry's parents are supposed to be the same age as Snape, who, 
in the films, can hardly pass for being in his late 30's, they've 
had to age up Harry's parents as well.
Isn't this getting old (pun intended :)) btw? Perhaps Lupin could 
be younger than 40 in PoA, but there's no way Sirius could. That 
whole generation is *at least* ten years older than in the books, 
meaning James and Lily would be 30-35 when Harry was born. And 
they sure didn't look 23 in PS either, btw.

*goes to check on IMBD*

Yep, Adrian Rawlins, aka James Potter was 43 in PS, Geraldine 
Somerville (Lily) was 34.
