The image that got ponderosa121 suspended and caused the whole kerfuffle was a sexually explicit image that certainly seemed to me to be of an underage Harry, by virtue of seeming to be in the dungeon, where Snape (who died before Harry was 18!) hasn't been since the end of HBP (when Harry was 16). If the drawing had been posted before HBP came out, *maybe* I'd give the artist the benefit of the doubt that Harry was an adult, but since then, not so much.
The issue is a combination of the explicitness of the image and the age of the characters rather than just "suggestiveness."
Suggest all you want.
But if you're going to draw people interacting with each others' naughty bits, and transport them in interstate commerce, they'd better be above 18.
