Well, we could argue about this but I think that Grandpre's

I think the best indication of what he looks like are the actual words 
describing his appearance, in the books.  Based on the words in the 
books, each reader constructs a mental image of him.  Each reader 
constructs his or her own distinct mental image, based on the same 
words, using imagination, past experience, etc.  That's part of the 
beauty of a book, as opposed to visual media.

Although I have to admit that I see him as Alan Rickman!
