Rita,
The problem with Rickman is his age; he's too old for Snape, who is in
his early forties at most. Snape was a contemporary of Sirius, Lupin,
and James Potter. James had Harry fairly young (let's say about 25)
and so he'd only be 39 or 40 now.

OTOH, Rickman's talents and persona are perfect for Snape. If you just
needed a voice actor, Rickman would be Number 1 with a bullet.
