I heard that the bits of footage where Alan Rickman is laughing about something with Michael Gambon which supply the cap for this icon 
(actually, the more common one I've seen is not animated, but I went back through two days of my HP reading filter and couldn't find anyone using it! graah!) were in the bonus material on the PoA DVD, so I've been watching through it (it's in Divination Class > Creating the Vision).
There's another half-second or so of similar footage later. I gotta say, maybe it's just poor angle or something, but he comes off a lot less attractive smiling open-mouthed (as opposed to smirking or doing a Mona Lisa) and laughing, at least in those particular shots. Does something to the rest of his face that kind of bothers me.
But speaking of Snape-laughter, I saved a fic by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
magnetic_pole a while back called "In the Grand Scheme of Things", which contains this lovely passage:
With dragon's blood flowing through his veins, he remembers just how meaningful the universe is. How interconnected, how rational, how infinitely complex. It is filled with love, held together by trust and compassion. [...]
In this world, Dumbledore sees rare, magnificent things that he wishes he saw all the time: Alastor laying down his wand, Minerva letting down her hair, Severus laughing.
Ariana, whole and alive again.
Harry, with his parents.
Tom, filled with remorse.
"...Severus laughing" touched me so much that I wanted to cry the first time I read it. But it's definitely a non-Rickman Snape I am picturing for that image anyway. (omgrly, there is such a thing? quite. I have a small menagerie in my head. different ones look righter taking certain roles.)
Dan must be laughing about something with Tom in this shot, but that doesn't make his expression any less scary. It's kind of evil.
Anyway, JKR says in this piece that Alfonso Cuarón managed to unknowingly put things in the Prisoner of Azkaban film which foreshadow things in the sixth and seventh books (and at the time she is speaking she mentions five having been published so far). I can't for the life of me think of what specifically she could have been referring to, but maybe my brain just has the dumb. (I don't mean plot-wise -- she seemed to be referring to certain visual elements or something that weren't specifically in the book.) Any guesses?
P.S. Gary Oldman's regular speaking voice is a lot lighter/higher/softer/somethinger than I thought it would be.
