How about this idealogy, then?  Because, cough, Sirius was always breaking
the rules, he went over to the darkside, and killed the other man who broke
the rules...both ending in bad situations.

IMHO it's clear that Snape wants two things: fame, and recognition of
his alliance to the Bright.  What does he rag on Harry about?  His
undeserved celebrity and his penchant for rule-breaking. The first
is because Snape wants some of that glory for himself (and perhaps
JKR will show us later that some of it truly does belong to him)
and the second is (a bit of a stretch perhaps) that Snape hates
the Dark side intensely and associates rule-breaking with the kind
of casual carelessness that can give the Dark an opening.
