New icon (spoiler)

[sinick]

My new default icon is at http://userpic.livejournal.com/64245221/1005639 (I've posted a link rather than the icon itself because it's spoilery.)

If you agree with the sentiments, feel free to nab it.

Please credit, as usual.

YES YES ...YES

Friendzed you :D
And totally with you on the icon. Harry wouldn't get off that easily!!

1: not many who were in a position to do a funeral, at the time.
2: ghosts do have a tendency to turn up somewhere they valued- in canon as well as just in general folklore- and we are nowhere near the basement of Hogwarts at any point in the book after Snape's alleged death.
3: This one is, imho, the most solid argument in favor of some people's persistence. Do we actually get anywhere said portrait would've spontaneously appeared, though?

Well, Dumbledore's portrait appears very quickly after his death. Why wouldn't Snape's spontaneously appear? I don't think there is any certain knowledge about how portraits act or when they appear.

I'm still in the Snape lives camp, myself.

*loves the icon* :D

Exactly! In fact, ex-Headmasters' portraits are supposed to appear in the Headmaster's Office upon their deaths.

3: The portraits of ex-headmasters always appear in the Headmaster's office right after they die, and Harry did go there after Snape's death. He lists all sorts of headmasters we've never heard of before, as well as familiar ones like Albus and Phineas Nigellus, but NO mention of Snape's portrait, or of any new portrait at all.

Accurate.
