I had a funny thought while reading this post.... Recently some 
members here have been putting forward that James might have once 
been a DADA teacher at Hogwarts. Now if he was..... and if.... since 
the position was made vacant it *has* been jinxed........ 

Big If's but its funny when you put it all together. 

The kind of Jinxes you are speculating here sort of seem like the 
irreverent kind of troublemaking that James might leave as a 
legacy "I woz ere" I think. 

I'd go further now that I am having fun and say it's probably a 
simple spell to undo but DD is finding it useful and like the swamp 
he keeps it anyway as a tribute to the man *James* whom he admires 
for his bravery in life....
