Sue(hpfan) who has rarely visited the list lately is intrigued by this.
Notice too, that Snape had Harry run through the boxes of all of the 
Maurauder's misdeeds.  How many times did he run across something 
like "James et all attacked S. Snape and left him haning upside down in 
the boys bathroom" or the like.  It ties into another thing Snape said 
before he left the grounds about James needing to be surrounded by 3 
friends before he would attack Snape (don't have the book for exact 
quote).  

It seems to be very important to Snape to be sure Harry knows this side 
of his father (not that he needed to learn any more since the 
Pensieve).  It makes me wonder if there was something in the files that 
would lead Harry to another piece of information he needs to  complete 
his task.  What else is in Filch's files other than the Marauder's map?

Sue(hpfan) who is glad others noticed all of the parallels between what 
happened to Harry and Snape at the end of the book.
