Is it possible for a young alto with a really low voice to later develope into a coloratura soprano?

Yes. If you are singing correctly with good posture and breath support, it is possible. I saw lower altos become mezzos today, actually.
Get a straw. Sit up straight, and have your feet on the floor-one slightly in front of the other. Try to do this in front of a mirror. Place the sraw in your mouth, and breathe in through the straw. Your back should widen as you breathe in, but your chest should not rise very much at all.
Say "sqeelo" (skweeloh) with an italian accent on one note and then move up and up until you hit the top of your range.
Sing, " Bumble bee-ee bumble bee-ee bumble bee-ee bumble-bee." Play this on the piano, starting on middle C, and play CE DF EG FA GB AC BD C. Play the notes similar to that pattern coming back down the scale.
Go to the higher part of your range and sing, " Ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee," legato, full voice.
I highky recommend the book Singing for Dummies available at Borders and at Barnes and Noble. It comes with a CD that is really great with warm-ups, and targets potential problems.
I wish you the best of luck, and please let me know if you need more warmups!

I dont know about coloratura, but if you are young and you work very hard at it, soon Mezzo Soprano will be very easy for you. Just try range expanding exercising EVERY DAY. dont skip a day. If you get to a certain age and have not worked on expanding your range, it will become very hard to do so. Thats why vocal training should start early. but try this range expander, it works really well.

try this, and after every one, move up the scale. also, the E's are stocato and the AH's are legato.
have fun and dont ever give up!!

I'm sure if you took classes and wanted to be a saprano that bad then your voice could get use to it, but it might take a while.
