Didn't Snape turn before James and Lily were killed?  I do agree 
about the fact that he may have called her a mudblood out of 
embarrassment.  Lily wasn't so perfect either.  Just because 
teenSnape called her a mudblood she called him Snivellus.  I found 
that pretty offensive myself.  I think there had to be more going on 
between Snape and James and Sirius.  That kitchen seen showed some 
pretty deep hatred between Snape and Sirius.  Snape, I can 
understand.  Sirius tried to kill him.  However, what is Sirius' 
grudge against Snape?  I just don't think the death eater thing is 
the cause, Sirius MUST know Dumbledore isn't a fool.  When Harry was 
asking Sirius about their assinine behavior toward teenSnape, Sirius 
shrugged it off as being jerks, immaturity, etc.  20 years later, 
Sirius is still acting the same way toward Snape.  Why?
