And while levelling the usual whinging charage that James uses Levicorpus in the worst memory scene, they conveniently forget that it was their woobie, Snape, who invented the thing in the first place.
They also seem to forget reason that particular incident was Snapes Worst Memory. And it wasn't because of anything James or Sirus did. It was because Snape said something that drove away the best friend he had. That is why that day haunted him. It was because of what HE said, HE did. And deep down, he knows it.
The problem with Snape as the victim of bulling by James and Sirus is that ignores that Snape was perfectly capable of fighting back. It wasn't the case of the football player bullying some poor geek/nerd who he has six inches and fifty pounds on. It was much more of a fair fight then that. It also wasn't like everyone loved James and Sirus. Snape had his friends, Snape had his.
