Well, that's your interpretation, Pippin. I am doubting very much 
that JKR's intention was to show James sexually harrassing Snape. 
Remember what Lupin says that at one point half of the Hogwarts used 
Levicorpus. Are you going to tell me that it is a metaphor for half 
of the school sexually harassing each other? I doubt it very much.

James bullying was not harmless  of course, but sexual harassment?

It is your right to interpret it this way of course, but I cannot 
see it no matter how hard I try.

JMO,

Alla
