Belatedly, I have to go with Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, on two levels. First because the charactwr in the books is in his early 30s if you go by JKR's (admittedly atrocious) math, and there's just no way. Which takes away from the tragedy of Harry's parents dying as young as they did, especially since all the other actors, including Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, and the actors who played James and Lily were all too old as well. But I'm singling out Rickman because casting him made Snape sexy, which has led to some truly atrocious fic (not to mention the Snapewives) over the years. Snape is not supposed to be sexy, people!
