Yes, he could. And Harry could have waved his wand and apparated to Mars for a little break from camping in DH. I would say that both are just too huge of assumptions to use to argue for or against anything.

jkoney: 
> No provocation? Wasn't Snape the one who was trying to find out what the marauders were doing and get them in trouble for it? That in itself is more than enough justification for teenage boys to turn on Snape. Rightly or wrongly they were provoked.

How about wrongly? 

I am imagining James kicking himself more than once in the Potterverse afterlife for saving Snape due to what said Snape started for the Potters and especially for their son. And I totally think that Harry's life would have been much better had some Severus Snape had ceased living.

But this? Is just bullying. 

JMO,
