What do you think the cutting curse that hit James in the face in the 
Pensieve scene was, then?  It's far better controlled than Harry's 
use of it on Draco, but it's still the same curse.

It's rather ironic, I think, that Snape invented the curses that then 
somehow spread around the school--and got used on him.  I wonder now 
if it was also his ankle-dangling curse used on the Muggles during 
GoF: Lupin tells us that one was very popular during school.

But having used one of his nastiest things on a childhood enemy--
that's pretty much canon.

[On the rest of it, I'm beginning to find the "death was set up 
completely in advance" scenario more and more unlikely considering 
all the detailed plans DD is offering Draco; but that's another 
thread.]
