I know it's not the sexiest of theories, but it's not unheard of for 10 or 11 year-old boys to get their growth spurt early. It happens.

However, we see that Walt aged from his last episode... to when he talked to Locke... was Walt taken off the island and is on a boat outside the 'zone?'... because clearly that child is older!

And maybe the writers are watching sites like this .. to catch all their glitches in writing! (suggested in a different thread)

chickenpotpie, I was referring to the Dorian Gray theory and agelessness. We clearly see that Walt has aged-and yes, boys do have growth spurts but if there is some anti aging going on due to the island, it doesn't apply to Walt.

I was interested by jswindle's idea about Dorian Gray. It reminded me a lot of this show I used to watch in reruns on sci-fi channel, Dark Shadows. In this show a character named Quentin Collins has his portrait commissioned by this mysterious man named Count Petofi. I looked Dark Shadows up on wikipedia and looked at all the story archs, and there are a some similarities between this show and Lost. Just throwing it out there.
