I do love Intimacy, and I'm surprised you didn't get more response from others. I'm even more surprised, though, to hear that you sparked some controversy! The title of #9 did give me chills, but it also immediately made me think of how shallow Harry was at that moment. He wouldn't even let Hermione finish the damn sentence because to him everything is still simply black and white--just as it was for Sirius, despite his insistance that you can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his house elf. But now it's likely going to be up to the nuanced, "evil," "murdering" Slytherins to help save Harry's world so all the "white" wizards can live happily ever after.

And the picture itself! Well, baby Snape is just so adorable and innocent (of course), and Eileen could be any new mother. I think the contrast between the title and the picture really makes the viewer stop and think...or it should anyway. (I guess some people missed the boat, though....) What a beautiful observation you seem to make with this picture: each of us "contain multitudes," as I think Walt Whitman says. The same man who murdered DD was also once someone's baby. I know I'm probably not expressing this right. But you what? I don't have to, because the picture does just fine on its own!
