I have never considered a Snape/James blood relationship.  So, did 
James know, and distrust his brother to the point that he and Lily 
would ask Sirius to be Harry's godfather?  Or do you think James and 
Severus unaware of their relationship?

I've always had a gut feeling that there was a possibility of a 
Snape/Sirius blood relationship that neither of them is aware of.  
Since they are grudgingly willing to work together for the defeat of 
Voldemort, I thought that an additional interesting twist would be 
for them to find out that they are indeed related.  JKR could write a 
real hoot of a scene as these two attempt to come to terms with this.
