Damn. I thought I'd gotten away with that. *pouts*

Okay, how I read it was that James already had his wand out when he called 
out to Snape. Harry commented on Snape's speed and I think he would have 
said something about James too if James had been even faster. Another thing 
is that Snape only got his wand half raised, so he had no chance of actually 
casting a spell on James. So, basically I see what James did as pretty much 
the same as attacking from behind because, if Snape was so fast, James would 
have had to start his incantation right after he had called out, just as 
Snape had the chance to register what James had said. It was just shorter 
and more poignant to say "attack from behind"...

posts before and hopes Valky will forgive her
