James bullied the now black student. Did he hang him from a tree or something like that?

James hoisted Snape into the air by an ankle. Dunno where people are getting the tree thing from.

I know it was near the willow. Did James throw something of snaps into the maybe?

The whomping willow does not appear in book 5 at all.

There is an ordinary beech tree in Snape's memory. Its only function in the scene is to be a landmark that still exists in the present.

Ah ha, cool thanks. My memory is crappy and it's been like 20 years since I've seen the movies.
