Potioncat:
I remember this because I thought it was so funny. (I know, it's very, 
very bad to think this is funny---supposed to be so horrible for Harry.)

HBP, chapter 24. Snape is showing Harry one of the punishment cards:
>>>He pulled out a card from one of the topmost boxes with a flourish 
and read, "James Potter and Sirius Black. Apprehended using an illegal 
hex upon Bertrum Aubrey. Aubrey's head head twice normal size. Double 
Detention." <<<

I suspect that Aubrey, like Snape, suggested that James had a swollen  
head and James and/or Sirius turned the comment around on Aubrey.  A 
head twice normal size earning double detention---had me in stitches.
