  I think Snape has already fulfilled his life debt to James when he
  save Harry from Quirrel's curse in PS. James saved Snape once, Snape
  saved James' kid once.  Seems even to me.  Surely, karma doesn't
  require that Snape run around looking after Harry until Harry dies of
  old age.

  I think that would depend on your definition of Life debt.  If it is the
Debt pf one life, then yes, Snape saved a life from the Potter Line, his
Dept to James would have been saved through Harry.  However if the
definition means Debt for Life, then Snape would be in debited twice to the
Potter line, to James himself, and then to Harry, because Snape would have
failed to protect the life of James.  Also in this definition, Snape would
be indebt to the Potters for the rest of his life.
