Potioncat:
Adrian Rawlins played James at a time when DR would have been too 
young to play an adult. Robbie Jarvis is playing young James, and my 
guess, like an earlier post, would be that he may look like Rawlins. 
(I don't know.)

There are casting quirks that I would have thought JKR would have 
addressed before the first actor was ever approached. For example, 
James should have looked more like Harry and Snape should have been 
younger. Either she didn't think it was that important, or her time 
was taken up with other issues.
