If Snape invented the Levicorpus spell, then how did James learn of
it?  Through Lily?  Is that one of the reasons Snape was so angry at
Lily when James used Levicorpus on him (Snape)?  Because he (Snape)
felt betrayed by Lily?  Lupin (I think) says that it was a popular
spell in those days.  It certainly wouldn't have been popularized (not
intentionaly) by Snape.  So it probably was passed around via somebody
else... Lily?  Nah, she wasn't into that kind of cruel thing.  But
James via Lily?  Sure, unintentionally passed by via Lily, but passed
I think.

But *how* passed via Lily?  Perhaps she borrowed Snape's "Half Blood
Prince" potions book and James got his hands on it.  Recall that there
was some debate whether the handwriting looked like a girl's or boy's.
 HRH debated that the book once belonged to Snape's mother.  But is it
possible (probable?) that some of the handwriting is Lily's and some
is Snape's?

the Phoenix, including Dumbledore's portrait.  All known info will be
