Some of the posters to this group forget that when
asked by Lily, I believe, why Severus was tormented
by the Mararuders, the reply was in essence "just
because he exists," not because he did anything which
I'm sure they would have been more than happy to enumerate.

Jeremiah:
Well, Barb, kids trying to be "cool" while picking on someone won't talk
about thinkgs like "hw transfigured my bed sheets into dirty underwear...
while I was sleeping in it!" They would, however, say something flippant and
cavalier like "'cause he exists." It's a very cruel thing to say. It denotes
how deeply one despises another.

To address other points in this thread, yes, I too wondered how James
learned Levicorpus but I would assume, as Remus & Sirius say to Harry that
it is one of those spells that became popular. Snape does say that Harry's
dad used Snape's inventions against him (Snape). I'm sure Snape shared some
"secrets" and that one got around. It may even be a reason Snape became such
a loner. We don't know yet.

I never questioned Jame's words because I have heard them before from
bullies.
