Elastic scattering data for $^{141}$Pr($\alpha$,$\alpha$)$^{141}$Pr have been analyzed to derive a new energy-dependent local potential for the $^{141}$Pr-$\alpha$ system. This potential is used successfully to predict the cross section of the $^{141}$Pr($\alpha$,n)$^{144}$Pm reaction at low energies where new experimental data have become available very recently. Contrary to various global potentials, this new potential is able to reproduce simultaneously elastic scattering data around and above the Coulomb barrier and reaction data below the Coulomb barrier for the $^{141}$Pr-$\alpha$ system. Reasons for the partial failure of the global potentials are explained by intrinsic properties of the scattering matrix and their variation with energy. The new local potential may become the basis for the construction of a new global $\alpha$-nucleus potential.
