it's not like they specify Lily and James' age iirc

Their ages are specified in the books, but not (I think) until DH, which was released in 2007, the same year the OotP movie was released. By that point, Snape, Lupin, Sirius, etc. were already cast, so it was a bit too late to fix it.

Hopefully for the new series, they can cast age appropriate actors from the start.
