Alla:

Hee, definitely top of your head is better than mine. I do not count 
couple of them as real suffering, hurt-comfort, etc ( like Ron 
screaming about spiders and Ron attacked by brains), and I am still 
not sure how graphic they are in general, but certainly every other 
example I accept is at least of the same level as Harry in graveyard.

But again, that does not really answer my question.  What did you 
mean by that sentence?

Does it mean that Rowling *has to** make Snape a good guy if she 
wants to torture him?

Alla:

Okay, but who says that Snape **has to** be tortured on screen? I 
don't think that was Neri's original point, was it?

Say we learn that his head was cut off of screen - would certainly be 
plenty enough to satisfy me for example. :)
