Something just hit me upside the head (owww!)  In the PoA movie, in
the scene when Harry is wearing the IC and throwing snowballs and
taunting Malfoy and his cronies, he pulls down one of the boys pants
to reveal a lurid set of boxers.  (Sorry, I don't remember which kid,
and I still am not sure which is which.)  Now, it doesn't happen in
the book this way, so the canonical reference is shaky, but it seems
an interesting connection between Harry and James' behavior in
"Snape's Worst Memory".  Why does Harry torment Crabbe and Goyle? 
merely because they exist?  Remember, according to Sirius, Snape was
sort of Lucius' stooge.  (Granted he has more brains than C&G put
together).  I think it's an interesting similarity, anyway.

Comments?
