	Sad but beautiful. Love that Harry's looking at the graves, and Snape is looking at Harry; also the position of their hands. Lucky recipient. Felaine (Reply to this)

	Heh. I have a strong suspicion as to your identity, Mystery Artist ;). It's absolutely gorgeous. The leaves in the air, their robes (Snape's is wonderful), Harry's lovely hair... Lucky giftee indeed :). (Reply to this)

	jadzialove 2007-11-15 03:03 am UTC (link)
	This is wonderful. I love that it's autumn, the stark tree in the background and their robes, their hair. So well done! (Reply to this)

	ivylady 2007-11-15 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Gorgeous. I love Harry kneeling at his parents' graves and Severus staring at Harry. The scarlet of Harry's robes and the green sash on Severus's robes are nice touches. As are the lilies. (Reply to this)

	Wow, this is incredible. Really cool. I love the drape of Snape's robes; Harry's hair, the tree fading in the background, the bench-like grave...just amazing. (Reply to this)

So, so interesting! The majority of this is smoothly stylized, but Snape's and Harry's faces is what drew me first, and keeps tugging me back to study the intense, almost painful realism of their facial expression.

Harry is almost red-nosed, like he'd like to cry, but can't. Yet as choked up as he is, he also seems to be looking at his mother's name with a teenage disbelief, as though he still can't deal with his wonderful parents leaving him, to never know them personally.

Having been part of their deaths personally is clearly hard on Snape. Along with his concern for Harry, is the miserable tight squeeze of his own guilt, that something which began in teenage anger and self-protection ended by getting both Potters killed. Having both the one he detested and the one he loved forever buried together makes it forever impossible for him to resolve.

His hand on Harry's shoulder, his protective stance, show his deep care for Harry here, even while Harry's attention is focused on his thoughts of his mum.

This is really well-done, thoughtful art, and I just looked and looked at it. It captures so many feelings and events. You're magic!

	I love this. The colours, their faces, the way their robes seem almost velvety. A wonderful piece. (Reply to this)
