The Breast Plate in the UK cover

[Kemper]

No: HPFGUIDX 166802

On the breast plate there looks to be a mirror image of an 'S'.  And
it looks like the 's' is a snake... though it could be the
ridiculously long neck of a dragon.

Could the printers (or whoever) have mirror imaged the artist's
original intent?  If I painted, and I don't, I would have placed Ron
on Harry's left (emotional) and Hermione on his right (logical).  Ron
his voice of id.  Hermione his voice superego.

I know.  Freud.  But what can you do...  JKR has one of his books on
the shelf behind her on the Adult back cover.
