Sirius was not a Death Eater:
1.  Perhaps he was not sure that Sirius was *not* a DE.  Peter 
Pettagrew was a member of the original Order and also a spy for 
Voldemort.  Presumably, the whole Betrayal-of-the-Potters thing by 
their secret keeper was an *undercover* operation, not known to all 
the rank and file Death Eaters (one of *them* could have been a spy--
like !Snape!)  
2.  It would be difficult to establish that Sirius was *not* a DE 
without revealing that he (Snape) was one.  ("See everyone, I have 
this dark mark on my arm and he doesn't....")  And Death Eaters were 
being sent to Azkaban with few questions asked (professional Quiddich 
players excepted).
3.  Snape absolutely *hated* Sirius.  He must have thought it was a 
*dream come true* to have his arch-enemy from school days sent to 
Azkaban for a life sentence for *any* reason.  Why ask questions!?!  
Christmas come early!!         Elle

My reply:
 
I do not doubt that he may have had his reasons for feeling this way.  I'm just saying that it is a possible reason as to why Sirius still was bitter towards Snape to this day.  Personally, I think that it is obvious these men do not like eachother.  However, I think and I may be crazy but if the tables were turned and Sirius was given the oppertunity to save his Snapes life he would do it...even if it was regretably.
