James deserved so much better. His character grew so much in this first film as we as the other two and they (James, Will and Jack) could have been a fine trio. Instead they turned him into a self serving traitor and killed him off.

Disney wasted his potential

If we take Orlando Bloom as a box office bait out of the equation, a much better and plausible storyline would be a romance between Elizabeth and Norrington, they are better written characters, they have a much more natural common ground (coming from the same social circles, while it is not exactly clear how Will and Elizabeth could develop a friendship him being an apprentice in a smithy and she being a Governor's daughter, it is not unheard of in the world of fictional romance, but here it feels like a huge gap) and would bounce off of each other and compliment each other's characters much better, also they could bring in much more humor then there already is, and, frankly, both are much better actors.

His character seem to be casted as a heartless protagonist to Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, but he really was a man who was straight as an arrow in doing his duty, showing in being stern and authoritative, ridding of outcasts and defending the just. But he did have weak spot in his tough exterior, and that was his long oppressed love for Elizabeth... if it wasn’t about Jack, this story/movie would’ve been about James and Elizabeth... in a perfect world, it would’ve ended with them, but not. Commodore James Norrington was robbed of his happiness in POTC. 😕

There's hardly an age gap between them; 10 years at most and even today, such relationships are pretty common. As for knowing her since she was a child, it's unlikely he was around her a lot when she was growing up. Being part of the Navy meant he could be gone for weeks, months or even years at a time if he was making trips between Port Royal and England.

Apparently Elizabeth was 19 and James 28 in the first film. If she was like 10 or something in the beginning flashback, James would have been 19. This is made slightly confusing by the fact that James’ actor did not change - whilst Elizabeth’s does. Also, James did not attempt to propose to her until she was 19 :)
