You know, I never thought about this. That doesn't really make sense based on canon, does it? In GoF, Lily and James are described as a young man and woman, which makes me think mid-late 20s, or maybe up to mid-30s. If Snape is a year younger or about the same age, why would he be portrayed by someone in his mid-50s?

Isn't there other info that the Potters and their gang are much younger than that? I know that Steve and the Lexicon have them at Hogwarts in the 70s, so there's probably more things that I'm currently forgetting. <g> Like, McGonagal as a teacher would sure be cutting it close - they'd be in about her first teaching year or so. I guess that could work, though. I don't know - someone help? <g>
