Nitpick: there's no evidence that Lucius was ever part of Snape's 
group.  When Sirius names the "gang of Slytherins" that Snape hung 
out with (GoF, P. 461, UK), he mentions only Rosier, Wilkes, the 
Lestranges and Avery. Aside from the Lestarnges, we have no 
information on any of their ages.  The fact that Snape walked out of 
his OWL exam alone does suggest that most of his friends were in a 
different year (otherwise they'd be walking out with him, just as 
all the Marauders walked out together), but we don't know if they 
were older or younger.
