Severus Snape wasn't that old.
Think about it. He must've been about 20 when Harry was born, so at the end of the series he couldn't've been older than 37 or maybe 40. Which means when the series *starts* he's got to have been in his early 30s, which isn't as old as the books make him appear, especially as wizards seem to live longer.
I mean, reading the books, didn't you picture somebody... older?
