They’re not old, they’re just british.

The trade-off was that they wanted Alan Rickman for Snape. So that meant Lily and James needed to be older too. Since we only see them in a few flashbacks I don’t think it’s that big of a deal that they’re older than written.

Yeah, Alan Rickman was too old to protray Snape. Not his fault, and he did a fantastic job with the character, but it would be interesting to see versions of the characters with more accurate ages.

Any necessary shenanigans to hire Alan Rickman was probably the right call.

Another thing I hope they get right in the upcoming HBO series.
