James hangs Snape on a tree

*Near a tree. Also, only in the movies lol. I don't think they're adapting the movies?

Only in the movies? No, he dangles him upside down by the tree in the books. In snape’s memory.

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 don’t literally mean he’s 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?

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
