That's my first impression too--that the two hands are gripped
together creating or controlling the energy. Oddly, my other
first impression was that the two hands were of a woman and
a man. I didn't immediately think the larger hand and wrist
belonged to someone older, just someone male. And for some
reason, I thought of James and Lily. 
 
I did take a second look, and I don't really see the larger 
hand and arm as necessarily belonging to an "old" person 
(such as DD). We are seeing the inside of a wrist, and when a 
person has a tight grip on something the bones and sometimes 
veins of the wrist stand out in relief.  Also some people naturally 
have thinner skin and veins closer to the surface, while others
have to interminably poked and prodded to find a vein. 

The smaller hand/wrist could certainly be Harry's (as teenage 
boys still haven't fully developed their musculature), or it could be 
a woman's hand/wrist. But I think the larger hand could be any
fully grown man's--DD, James, Sirius, Salazar, etc.
