Young Snape

For the Harry Potter fans out there, my first attempt at Harry Potter fan art, done for fun when I had a little extra time.

Snape was immediately one of my favorite characters when I began reading the series, because he was such a deadpan, sarcastic bastard. Alan Rickman was an excellent choice for him in the movies! (Anyone else remember his turn as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood?)

I feel Rowling's done a great job of making him three-dimensional throughout the course of the series, and without giving any spoilers I'll just say I like his characterization now more than ever at the end of Book 6.

I'm thinking of doing a series of young versions of the older crowd(Sirius, etc.), but it depends on the reaction I get to this one. Let me know what you think, either way, and thanks for looking!
