[HPforGrownups] Fwd: The Cast

I can't help but think Snape might actually LOOK older than he is annually.  It sounds like he's spent alot of time with potions, and all the potions' work (except Myrtle's bathroom) has been in the dungeons.  Wouldn't that age you physically?  Hence looking 54 instead of 34?

  I agree that Alan Rickman's too old to play Snape.  I really do love
  Rickman's performances, and if he were 10-15 years younger, he'd be my first
  choice, but I don't think he should play Snape.
