Description

My interpretation of JK Rowling's "Severus Snape" character as described in the Harry Potter books, with a dash of the film incarnation thrown in for good measure. [He's not pretty, but he's my kind of not pretty. ;)]

(Heavily) digitally manipulated photo, 2007.

Many gracious thanks to Cobweb-stock for the brilliant stock image this was created from (originally photographed by Lockstock).

Not a typical comment?  I used to write when I was young(er) and finally poured my soul into a short story about young Professor Severus after he leaves the scene of carnage, etc. behind that fateful halloween night.  I'm actually rather proud of it but too shy to put it out anywhere.  But then I saw this.  I just wept.  Because you gave my youthful Professor life and presence in the same way dear, Alan brought adult Severus into the real world.  Thank you.   I bought a large print and a magnet.  I appreciate that other comments from back in the day acknowledge his magnetism, but his character is so much more than that to me.  This is a portrait of a powerful young man wrestling with dark forces, conflicting feelings and frightening emotions all with huge consequences.  It is the boy but also the soul of the man.  Bravo.
