 From Michael:

  >>In SS, Ollivander asks Harry which hand is his wand hand, and Harry says he 
  is right handed. I take this to mean that his wand hand is his right hand.  
  I assume, however, that Harry can use either hand. Also, even though I love 
  Mary Grandpre's art, it isn't always accurate. Don't base your questions off 
  the art, but the text. <<


That's true you shouldn't really base your questions off the art because I had read somewhere that she/or another artist [ I don't know if this relates to all the authors mentioned in the site ( I found the link )] doesn't know anything about the book, she/he only gets little hints (I think?) and then they draw the cover. 

Here's the link:
