I'm so in love with this! Their big comfy old house looks so homey and perfect for raising children in, and I'll bet there are rooms set apart for Harry's and Severus's brewing and scholarship. Ok, for Severus's. *g*
The pretty rug really goes with the Craftsman style and look. I'll bet the kids love making up mini-adventures in its maze of lines, just like they love tumbling over that squashy, sturdy chair and footstool. I'm guessing from the teacup on the tray that Snape was reading there while the children played at his feet, but set his book aside to move to the floor and be with the children. He looks like the most *awesome* father. I think Harry's peeping around the corner just to marvel at how good Sev is!
