"Yes, I read about this scene before the movie and thought the same
thing. Now, the interesting thing is, PoA was filming when OoP came
out. So when was this scene added?

Along the same line, Aunt Marge is floating out doors with her
undergarments in view as well, much like the Muggles in GoF. So the
audience is laughing at these two scenes, but should be shocked at
the canon episodes.....I'm not sure how that is going to play."


Kyntor replies:

JKR could be trying tell us something with this scene.  Maybe she is 
trying to say that we are taking the scene between Snape and James 
too seriously.  This could simply be her way of giving us a nudge in 
the right direction.

There's no doubt that James was a jerk in Snape's worst memories, but 
we really don't know what led up to this event.  Knowing Snape as we 
do, we can assume that his hands weren't exactly clean as far as 
picking on others go.  Maybe JKR feels that Snape's experiences from 
the Marauder's was some type of karmic pay-back.

It is interesting to think about. :)
