Hmmm! Your point of view - that Snape wanted to be freed from the photo - is intriguing to me!
I think one of my main hopes was that there can be many possibilities and interpretations of how this turns out, so your feedback only makes me feel all happy and pleased and blushy. XD
I did it in Image Ready, actually! Yeah, really simple animations - I only wanted something that was 3-4 frames per animation so it won't take long to load. XD
