Just cursing someone in a hallway between classes is not bullying, IMO, and we can't know about anything else from Lupin's words. 

Alla:

So does this standard of who is being a bully and who is not applies to James or is it a special one for Snape?

Do you consider James hexing people according to Lily and his detention cards an evidence of him being a bully to other people besides Snape?



zanooda:
Besides, we are not discussing Snape, we are discussing James :-). <SNIP>

Alla:
You mean because topic says so? I would think that since scene involves them all we can discuss them all, but here you go, topic changed LOL.
