I agree.  In fact, the whole episode smacks of a secret Lily/Snape 
relationship in which they're supposed to be presenting an 
adversarial relationship to the world, and Lily couldn't quite hold 
herself back and stepped in to stop James' abuse of him.  I think 
Snape's rebuke could have been, in part, because she sort of forgot 
the role she was supposed to be playing.  His calling her a Mudblood 
in front of other people would certainly be a plausible part of such 
a charade.

And here I thought the Snape/Lily ship would be sunk by OotP!  
Instead it's even more seaworthy, IMO. <g>
