Yes, agreed. It is funny that after OOP many wondered whether 
Dumbledore meant that  Harry meant to be compared to Snape and James 
to Draco. I never did. I think in that way parallels mean to be the 
same. IMO of course.

I always think of Draco trying to scare Harry off his broom among 
other things. He knew how Harry reacts towards Dementors, didn't he? 
I do not believe it is a stretch to think that Draco realised that 
Harry would fall down and even though wizarding kids can fall down, 
I do not think that Harry would have very safe trip.

Mike, Mike, Mike I am always here :) And actually, yes, after 
Luoin's words I totally believe that most of the school was doing it 
as harmless joke, nothing more. It certainly looked more than that 
in Pensieve scene, but as Neri noted blood on James face was also 
very nicely unnoticed. What I am saying is that this hex can USED as 
harmless and not, I guess.


I am also very happy that I am not the only one to wish Snape 
horrible pain and I SO hope he has at least some of the misery and 
suffering that he brought on at least four people in last book ( and 
NO I do not count Sirius in it yet, but I strongly suspect that I 
will be free to do so after last book, hehe)

Alla.
