Wonder if he *started* hanging around that gang *because* of this kind of
treatment? This is the end of fifth year, the Prank hasn't happened yet (I
don't think, if they're fifteen), and they have two more years to go. What
if James' & Sirius' bullying is what pushed Snape into that crowd?

This, again, makes me wonder why that particular memory was the worst.
Either (a) in the part Harry didn't see, the end, they *did* take his pants
off, and more...or (b) it was because Lily was there, got involved, he
insulted her. Snape/Lily is still viable.

No idea. We need book 6. Like, tomorrow.
