Welcome to the group!

Yeah, these two are particularly bad at it.  But even Molly does it 
a bit.  Keep in mind though, we only see the characters at certain 
moments and at that time, remembering school days is part of the 
plot.

Snape grumbles about James, but he's doing that when Harry's 
behavior is like James' was and the behavior is likely to put him 
into danger.

Snape and Black turn into teenagers at HQ when Snape comes to 
discuss Occlumency.  Sort of like grown siblings home for the 
holidays, replaying old grudges.

As for the worst memory...that has everyone stumped!
