I've just been rereading OotP, and this scene came up, and started 
me thinking. Anyone remember someone else on a bucking broom? And 
why it was bucking? And who knew the correct countercurse?

I'm wondering if James didn't hex Snape's broom during their 
Quidditch days, much as Quirrell did Harry's. And I wonder who the 
laughing girl was...perhaps Lily was watching?
