What it says on the tin, in no particular order. Featuring the Snape buttons I gave out and a transcript of some of the amusing cards pinned up in the common room. Obviously image-heavy!
(shrunk the rude way; right-click and view image to see full size)
About thirty of the Snape buttons I gave away at the con. I forgot I was supposed to take a picture before I got all excited and started right out giving them away. I wound up making 57, I think, and I at the rate they were going I had to specially reserve 20 to give at the Snapecast meet on Friday night, or I wouldn't have had any at all. I could probably have easily given away a hundred or more. (Oh my aching hand and buttonmaker!)
This was a sequence of back-and-forth cards pinned up on the notice boards in the common room. I'll spare you the whole thing; here's a transcript of the exchange at the time I photographed it:
Dear Professor Snape,
At our "meeting" last night, I left behind a personal item. Please return when convenient.
--Hermione xoxo
Miss Granger,
I am uncertain as to what you are saying. Perhaps you've been at the books for far too long and it has addled your dreams. There is no such item.
S
Miss Granger,
Please stop stalking Professor Snape. He has already been claimed.
--Professor Lupin
Lupin,
Severus is already quite spoken for!
--Harry
Professor Lupin
Meet me in my quarters to discuss this so-called "claim".
S
Dear Prof. Lupin,
I'm not sure if I'm okay with this.
--S. Black
Black,
You have no say in this matter.
[Severus]
Severus-
Sort of confused here. Everyone seems much older. I'll see you later - maybe you can help?
--Lily
To whom it concerns,
I don't know who you think you are, impersonating Lily. If I find you, there will be dire consequences. Trust me in that.
Severus,
Hi! You seem different, but that's OK! Want to come to my house later? Could take a walk around the city!
--R.A.B.
Black,
WHERE IS MY HORCRUX????
You will pay for what you have done.
--The Dark Lord
(And then there was one more response I apparently didn't photograph, one back from Regulus saying something like "I stole it. Didn't you get my message?" I'm amused that whoever wrote Regulus apparently played along with my time-travel notion in writing Lily's card.)
The model Pacific Clipper they had in the little harbour where the water taxis put in.

Dunno who the foreground person is (someone will tell me, I'm sure) with random backgroundfiendish_thingy at the ball. I dunno if it's possible to unconsciously photobomb but I like the sort of smirky expression.
Most of my pictures of WWoHP turned out far too dark to rescue because I refuse to use flash. Here, Gilderoy Lockhart works for sale.
I like this image of the Hard Rock Cafe even with the camera shake (maybe even because of it).
The view of Hogwarts castle visible from the Snarry suite, complete with incongruous palm trees, rollercoaster, and Doctor Doom's Something-Or-Other of Fear.
Not too bad a shot at Honeydukes, except for the air vent and speaker in the ceiling.
Sweet counter at Honeydukes. The Cauldron Cakes were quite tasty, with a really delicious chocolate cream filling.
The Leaving Feast.
From the Snapecast meet - Severus's letter to the hotel expressing his displeasure with the service.pennswoods I think has a transcript (and possibly a less headache-inducing picture - this has camera shake in the low light).
Not knowing you could use room keys to attempt to get priority seating at CityWalk restaurants, we fled the 30-45 minute wait rather than try to have lunch here, but I thought this was a decent picture.

Ravenclaw meet in the common room. Besides me, there's two others off camera to my right, standing over a pile of cameras and using them to take pictures for everyone.

pennswoods explaining one of the slides in the Snapecast presentation, "The Theory of Diminishing Snape". As you can see, they engaged in highly scientific study of Snape's appearances in the films, including evaluating the Wig Factor (comprising Greasiness, Messiness, and Flippiness), the Billow Quotient, Sneer Effect, and qualitative attributes of his roles.
I don't think anyone was surprised to discover that either Half-Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows was the book with the most Snape content (two slides disagreed with each other on this), but quick, what's your gut feeling on which film has the most? It turns out it's Goblet of Fire, which I don't think anyone guessed.
"Why did it have to be 'follow the spiders'? Why couldn't it be 'follow the butterflies'?"

Snape arrived on the scene to assist with technical issues at the Snapecast panel! Who knew he was moonlighting (daylighting?) as a stage hand?

Creepily delighted-lookingtripperfunster with yet again a fiendish thingy (NOT STALKING. HONEST)
And now one I find important enough to put outside the cut because I hope to all that is holy that it is fake:
(that's also shrunk the rude way; right-click and view image to see it full size)
If this is for real, then ALAN RICKMAN is going to be Severus Snape in what I can only suppose is the hilltop scene "Don't kill me! I come with a warning - no - a request - I have asked him" "You disgust me", when Severus is supposed to be about twenty or twenty-one years old. I knew it was inevitable they were going to use him in some scenes I'd personally consider even more implausible than his age already makes him for a 37/38-year-old, but I was holding out hope they were going to either bring back Alec Hopkins (whose name, sadly, I haven't heard rumours of having any connection with DH) or cast someone else somewhat younger for that scene. So I am praying heartily that this is a fake, because if they somehow manage to stage it so we don't see Severus's face or body I will be sad, and if they stage it so we can it will be worse. (Also it makes me very curious if they've cast a child Severus to go along with child Sirius they've apparently cast for what I guess is the train scene, and what parts, if any, of the teenage Lily/Sev scenes are going to make it in even as brief glimpses.)
