You got it. *grins* It's a little like having a framed photo on his dresser, an unconscious admission of the depth of his feelings. But because it's a wanted photo, he never allows himself to forget what Snape has done.
He feels, oddly enough, as if the photo of Snape understands that he can't in principle be on his side and at the same time recognises the statement he's made by having his photo in his room. When he hangs it up, he's accepted Snape as a constant presence in his life, for good or bad, and is no longer trying to fight it.
That eases his internal conflict because he's stopped berating himself and accepted that his feelings don't have to make any sense. This is a big step for Percy, whether or not Snape ever returns.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would comment on the poster. :D
