Interesting!  Obviously it's levicorpus that James used on Snape, 
as we see in OotP when Snape is dangling upside down with his grey 
underwear showing.

Well, James somehow got ahold Snape's book, obviously.  Filched it, 
most likely.  Snape would never give up the book voluntarily to his 
worst enemy, annotated as it was with his excellent notes. 

But obviously, Snape got it back, as it was in storage in his old 
potions classroom.  

Though truthfully, as a teacher, I cannot imagine leaving something 
so precious in my old office.  It doesn't seem like Snape to just 
leave it lying around, but then it had to get into Harry's hands, 
did it not?
