Quite contrary, it is *Severus* who plays both the role of Edmund *and* the role of Aslan. It's one of the (many, many) things that annoy me about the Potterbooks: on the surface it *looks* like Harry Potter is Rowling's Aslan, but Harry does *not* lay down his life to save others, but to kill his enemy (and even the lowest suicide bomber terrorist is willing and able to do *that*). Aslan, who laid down his life just so Edmund would live. Unfortunately, our Sev did not have a Aslan to save him. But if you're thinking of Snape-as-Edmund because they both lapsed in judgment, going along with the sweet-talking Queen/Voldemort, only to find that they were wrong and repenting, then I can go along with that. Edmund was a truly unpleasant little boy, and I can't see young Sev like that, always striving to please young Lily, afraid that if he asserts too much, she would spurn him.

Gray maintained a long-term collaborative relationship with set designer and illustrator Joan Jefferson Farjeon (sister of Eleanor Farjeon and Harry Farjeon) she supplied the costume and scenic designs for many of the theatrical productions of his plays, as well as the illustrations of his books.Oh, I dunno.

Over The Hills to Fabylon is about a city whose king has the ability to make it fly off across the mountains if he feels it is in danger. His The Stone Cage is a re-telling of Rapunzel from a cat's point of view. Gray often produced adaptations or continuations of traditional fairy tales and fantasy works, as in his Further Adventures of Puss in Boots. Perhaps his best-known books are The Seventh Swan and Grimbold's Other World. Many other modern fantasy authors, such as Hilari Bell, Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Kate Forsyth, Cassandra Golds, Katherine Langrish, Sophie Masson, and Garth Nix, cite Gray's work as something they enjoyed as children. Neil Gaiman has written that Gray 'is one of those authors I loved as a boy who holds up even better on rereading as an adult'.

He was also an author of children's fantasy he wrote a number of novels, a dozen plays, and many short stories.

Nicholas Stuart Gray (23 October 1922, Scotland - 17 March 1981) was a British actor and playwright, perhaps best known for his work in children's theatre in England.
