Someone's probably said this already--sorry, I can't read *all* of 
these at work--but as another poster described, the hanged man hangs 
by one foot.

Very like the curse that Snape invented, that hangs you by one ankle, 
eh? The one that was written in his old spell book. That James used on 
him in his memory. That Harry tried to use on him in HBP. That Snape 
identifies as his own work, specifically, for good measure.

Yep yep yep.
