This portrait of Prof. Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) in his potions laboratory was done for Vanity Fair's Harry Potter special. With antique gold-leaved frame from Marvilla's Graphics. Click here for a much larger version, suitable as wallpaper for a 17-inch monitor. Or right-click to download.

Your favourite Potions Master, in an official publicity photograph for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. On the left, wood frame with gold corner engravings, which most other people liked better. On the right, a black Victorian frame with stones from a graphics website, which I stuck in because I personally liked it better. Pick your favourite.

A marbled Slytherin-green frame with gold edging, from Impressions of Shydove. Gold looks so good on Snape...

Prof. Snape (Alan Rickman) and rear-view of Prof. Quirrell (the equally dishy character-actor Ian Hart) in a screenshot from the official movie trailer.

A portrait taken from an official Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone photo handout. Prof. Snape stands at the head table during the Halloween feast. With antique chased-silver frame (also from Marvilla).

Well, if you're getting tired of looking at Severus Snape, then consider this rather lovely study of Alan Rickman's delectable hair in natural ash-blond. Nice frame, too.

Back to Snape... two more nice closeups taken from the Vanity Fair photo spread. On the left, a modern, metal-edged frame from Paint Shop Pro 6 makes Snape look cool. On the right, a simple gold-leaf frame from Marvilla adds elegance to that snooty mug.

Alan Rickman gives us a closeup of The Snape Look, in a picture from the Sunday Telegraph. I couldn't find a Slytherin serpent frame, but this lovely pewter dragon is a good substitute. From Spice Tree Graphics.

One of my favourite pictures of Snape, taken from a Harry Potter poster. It happened again - I made two different styles of frame and couldn't decide between them. Right: bluish-green furry frame, which I find more comfortable to look at (or maybe I'm just tired of gold frames). To view larger version, with SNAPE banner, click here. Left: elegant gold and black frame, suitable for Snape. To view the larger version, click here.
