> If James Potter is supposed to be a decent guy, why do he and his 
pals (Lupin, Sirius) torment and pick on Snape during their time at 
hogwarts?  Lily had the decency to tell him to stop. James looked a 
bit like Malfoy does now. I don't understand. >>
 
K (Kathryn): 
> Then you've clearly never met a 15 year old boy. James and Sirius 
were popular, good looking, sporting heroes (well James was anyway, 
not sure about Sirius' quidditch prowess) hence they picked on the 
unpopular kids. Is it a nice thing to do? No of course it isn't, but 
teenagers are like that.
At some point after the memory we see they presumably grew up 
(personally I think it was the Shack Incident that did it). >>>


I agree with K. I just want to add the to the fact that we don't know 
the whole story with James, Sirius and Snape. We just got a little 
glimse of what they were like when they were younger (at that perfect 
age of 15). There is more to it, so we really can't judge James and 
Sirius on that one scene. For all we know, judging on how Snape was 
defending himself, Snape could have done some horrible things to 
James, Sirius and company too.
