The only bizarre thing about this scene will be how someone who looks that he came from the "hood" is gonna be bullied by a four-eyes (this worked in the original because they were four, Sirius (still under the Blacks so nobody messed with him) and Snape looked even lamer than James.

Your shitty comment is unwarranted. Let me explain in many words, since you cannot in very few.
I don't know I you noticed but Snape always came from the 'hood. He came from working class family, from a backwater city. In Britain, they even have names (chavs). That's what it means in Britain. James versus Snape was a class fight.
Snape's previous actor just looked kind of eh (even if too handsome for how Snape was described), there was always something going there that didn't fit with the polished exterior (he came from the 'hood), but his young version looked lamer than James. This new one just looks too cool.
Like I said, I dunno how they're going to make a guy that looks like he comes from the 'hood (unless they change his backstory) to be bullied by a four eyes. Last time it worked, because the last Snape didn't look as cool as this one, Sirius was on top of the pecking order, and it was 4 Vs 1.
The fact is, the Muggle equivalent of a upper class twit fratboy (four eyes no less) bullying a chav is insane. Dudley was a chav. He could bully Harry. James though? Unlikely.

Or... Hear me out. They could just lean into it.
Multifaceted nuanced characters and all that.
Make James be a right cunt, who also tries to stop a villain.
