How's your Latin? or Spanish at least?

"SECTUP" sounds like "to diSECT" like what macabre biology teachers 
get students to do with frogs .... so that part is "to CUT"

"SEMPRA" sounds like "siempre" in Spanish. That means "ALWAYS". 

So the curse used against James may have been "SECTUP", but 
not "SECTUPSEMPRA" causing multiple cuts like Draco got.
