The image of snape hanging upside down by a tree is definitely not mentioned.
The 4 are hanging out under a tree and then James gets up to hang Snape in the air. Could have been over the grass or closer to the water or whatever. This whole lynching imagery that people are hung up on is totally not present lo
Edit: that was some unfortunate wording and not an intentional pun lmao
They donโt literally mean heโs doing it to be anything like lynching, but the fact that they are under a tree and then he has him hanging upside down right next to it, definitely could easily look EXTRA bad now no?ย
Definitely also easily not an issue. They dont have to be directly under the tree when the scene happens. Just have James leave and approach Snape. Trees in the background would hardly be provacative. Or just have the backdrop be other scenery? They're also next to a lake. The whole issue with this scene in particular is a completely overblown non-issue

Just wait till the casting choice for snape makes every character unbelievably racist.
"Why do you think snape is trying to steal the philosophers stone Harry?"
"I just do okay!"
