Now me (Rachel):

If James is so against different species, then why is he best friends 
with a werewolf, and why did he go through the (I think) painful 
process of becoming an animagus? 

The Snape Vampire theory is a bit of a mystery to me, but there is 
discrimination everywhere against other species. This seems to have 
been discussed a lot and it seems pointless to list the hundreds of 
remarks/looks/comments/violence that occured.

Sorry if I've been rude but I don't think that this could possibly 
be the reason for his bullying, I think he was just a bully.

Regards,

Rachel
