I love the colours, their facial expressions and the effective storytelling with some wonderful surprises.
The role you’ve given to the statue is delightfully contradictory to expectations. Out goes sentimentality, in comes humour. It’s a great relief, and somewhat uncanny, to see Snape and Harry no longer troubled by the past in a setting that could bring forth all kinds of painful memories. I’m sure they, too, find it liberating, despite the ongoing war.
At first, I thought Snape had come there to mourn Lily and to feel sorry for himself, apparating at their feet and seemingly miserable. Then there’s headless James. And the visual symbolism of the statue changes completely. I think Harry could be mistaken. Perhaps, for a moment there, Snape allows himself to think what might have been. In any case, it is a refreshingly humorous approach to the whole James/Lily thing.
And Harry, joking about Snape “peeking up mum’s skirt”. That kind of thing almost never happens in Snarry. I want more! He seems mature and healthy, and therefore, very attractive. Clearly, this Harry doesn’t worship his parents. Neither does he seem to approve of the silly, and ultimately quite embarrassing, memorial. Seeing their initials on it makes me a happy fan. Such cheek!
You’ve captured so many nuances of snow and made all its shades look beautiful. My favourite panel is the one where Snape and Harry look at each other; a lovely mixture of pleasure and desire, forgetting everything else. The warmth and affection between them shows in the colours, too. The cloak is such a fitting frame in its snowy, magical beauty.
