Marauders vs Death Eaters

I was reading GoF recently and was hit by a thought that hadn’t occurred to me before. In the chapter where the former death eaters attack the muggle campsite owners at the quidditch World Cup, they levitate them and flip one of them upside down, exposing their underwear. Do we think it’s deliberate that JKR wrote Snape’s Worst Memory to include Snape being victimised in the exact same way only one book later?

The death eaters are often referred to as “torturing” Mr Robert’s and his family when discussing that event yet it’s never referred to as torture when the marauders do it to Snape (at least not by marauders fans).

To be clear I’m not trying to stir the pot to set marauders fans on Snape fans or vice versa. This is purely about why JKR used that particular method of torment in both of those moments and if we think it is meant to signify anything.
