After a day or two of mulling over Snape, Rhianyn muses:

I am leaning more and more toward Snape having been there when James and Lily 
were killed and having intervened somehow.  If he was and did, Voldemort's 
fury would know no bounds.  Could he, p'raps have then had someone close to 
Snape killed in turn.  P'raps a wife and child?  That would certainly account for 
Snapes loathing of Harry.  He may feel that he paid far too high a price for 
Harry's life.  And somewhere in the PoA I believe, Snapes remarks that while 
everyone is trying to keep Harry safe, Harry is out tempting fate and wandering 
about unguarded.   

As for his hatred of Sirius ... could Sirius have arrived at Godric's Hollow 
just as Snape was about to go after Voldemort, but caused him a fatal delay by 
p'raps attacking him, thinking that Snape was responsible for James and 
Lily's deaths?
