Lauren again:
It is my opinion that ghosts would appear the age they were when 
they died.  Isn't that true for Moaning Myrtle & Nearly Headless 
Nick et al?  I just thought it seemed out of place that James Potter 
seemed like he was gray and balding.  I would expect him to be young 
like the photo Harry has of him next to his bed in PoA.  IMOH

Does anyone agree with me on this one?
