Now Me (Mlle):
As I was reading your post, I was reminded strongly of 
Snape's 'Worst' Memory. Snape was definately the victim there.

Mlle: Snape was picked on supposedly because he 'existed' (as if it 
was his fault he existed)

Now I am curious as to the meaning of the Hanged Man 
reversed...Perhaps Snape is the reversal of the Hanged Man. Any Tarot 
buffs out there to tell us the reversal of the Hanged Man?
