Oh man oh man oh man oh man... that is the hardest question ever!
For all intents and purposes, I think there will be more impact with something mental, because I can do something physical without actually killing the kid. XD He's totally going to be missing some fingers, so we'll lay off maiming outside of fingernails and toenails and various other Snape-induced pains.
I thought it would be cruel to take his memory of someone, but I'm not sure that's cruel enough? Unless it's Katara, and then it's probably TOO CRUEL.
Perhaps something like short-term memory loss? That would cause some issues. Or the loss of a certain aspect of his personality? Also considering an inability to recognize faces, or voices, or something like that. Really, there's so much to choose from!

Mmm, that must be it!
