[HPforGrownups] Would house-mates ever hate each other?

Trish:
I take it the theory going around is that, because of Hagrid's 
statement that there wasn't a wizard that went bad that wasn't in 
Slytherin, that James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were all in 
Slytherin.  I can see how that would be possible, but then why would 
Snape hate them?  Remus has already said they and Snape were in the 
same year (never said the same house) and they didn't like each 
other.  If they were house-mates, wouldn't Snape have seen them 
sneaking out every month?  Wouldn't he have noticed that they were 
not in their beds at night?  If Harry shares a room with Ron, 
Seamus, Neville, and Dean, then Snape surely would have shared a 
room with James and the bunch.

Me:
I don't see any holes because of this. Some people just don't click. I've always thought that Snape has this rules-are-there-for-a-reason thing and couldn't stand that James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter messed around and got away with it. They don't need to be in different houses to despise each other. Sure, the competition between houses can cause some definite sparks (especially between Gryffindor and Slytherin, of course), but no group of people are guaranteed to get along, even within the same house.
