How many years away is that?

Too many. By the time 6 comes around, I fear Rickman will be nearing 70 instead of 60, and his jowls by then will be uncanny! Why did he have to get old man British jowls? Yes, he's still attractive. And more so in the third film than in the second, where I thought he might actually be sick! Poor, puffy Rickman. Still, sometimes I'm tickled by the fact that they cast amazing actors, all of whom are too old for their roles. I think only Thewlis is actually close to the age Remus is supposed to be. I think Snape, Sirius, and Remus are all supposed to be 38 when Harry gets to Hogwarts, or in the vicinity of 40.
Man, just think of an Alan Rickman around the time of Die Hard, Robin Hood, or even Sense and Sensibility being cast as Snape.
At least we'll always have the voice, even if the jowls are dragging on the floor come Book 6 time.
