Potioncat:
While other members have responded to the meat of your post, I'm 
stuck with this scene. I can't get the silly image out of my mind.  
Where do the little photo-people go when they walk out of a picture? 
I recall a photo of Lockhart with a very reluctant Harry who tried to 
stay out of sight. So, "what" does happen when a magical picture is 
torn?

The portion Harry has shows baby Harry zooming in and out, while a 
pair of legs chases after him. The portion Snape keeps has Lily 
laughing. If baby Harry could zoom into Snape's half, so could James, 
and what would be the use of tearing it? 

So, I think only Lily shows up in Snape's portion of the photo.

Potioncat, now recalling being a very young child and wondering how 
all those little people got into her TV-set and what happened to them 
when it was turned off.
