Carol responds:
Thanks, zanooda! Poor Snape. No rest for the weary; even in the afterlife, he has to watch over and protect a Potter kid! The black wings look like they belong to a crow, but I suppose they fit with the idea of the *living* Snape. I like like to think that Dead!Snape would finally wear the sort of green-and-silver headmaster's robes that Phineas Nigellus wears in his portrait. And I think of him as happy, too, reconciled with Lily and even on civil terms with James, forgiveness being the norm in the afterlife and resentment and vindictiveness having no place there.

Wonder why the artist has Harry wearing what looks like a greenish version of Hogwarts school robes. Whatever Aurors wear, I'm sure it isn't that. And even if snape looks like Rickman, couldn't they at least dispense with the frock coat and trousers and give him robes and a cloak?

Carol, who also finds the doe Patronus picture touching but wonders why Snape is holding his wand in his left hand rather than his right
