J. K. Rowling has said that someone loved Snape. I can't help but feel that it must have been his mother, the former Eileen Prince. He put her maiden name in his private nickname, identifying with her in secret, perhaps deriving strength from that identification, while maintaining his father's surname in public.

The Snape Family Watching a Carnival

And the Snape family version:

I changed the roles a bit from the original, but I like to think that Tobias and Eileen might have been happy together once, even if it embarassed little Severus.

Oh, this is fabulous. Severus looks like any child who just wants to get away from his corny parents. Good thing they aren't kissing -- he would have died.

And hooray! We have a contender!

Thanks for entering.

Thanks. This was my first time of actually getting all the way through a painting in Artpad. This is fun!

I love this! The colours are wonderful and you've managed to convey so much emotion on little Severus's face!

Thank you. I still feel really haphazard doing this with a trackpad, but thank goodness for "undo"! It's kind of exciting.

My comment is late, but this is fantastic. So expressive!
