Wizarding Pictures Question

How come some people in wizarding pictures can interact with people outside the pictures in current time, like Phineas Nigellus and the Fat Lady, while other people, like Harry's parents, can only smile and wave at the moment in which they were captured? Is this a painting/photo distinction? But then how come Lockhart's photos of himself all nod in agreement when the real Lockhart talks? Can anyone shed any illumination on this for me? Many thanks.
