Consider: a metric of seeing just how much happier Harry is with Snape that’s not him smiling more, talking more freely, or not flinching, but the way he sleeps.
when Harry first comes to Spinner’s End, he curls up as tight as he can on his bed. He’s used to having to squeeze into a tiny cupboard or protect himself even while asleep.
as the weeks go on, Harry uncurls just a little bit more. Each time Snape proves to him that he is safe.
by the end of the summer, he starfishes across his bed, blankets thrown around and messy, showing that he’s never been more comfortable in his life
I think about that a lot, but I haven’t the art skills to draw it
What do you think?
You may crucify me for not drawing this until now
