Hickengruendler:

I think this were possible, if not for two points. When Snape found 
them, James and Lily must have known that Peter has betrayed them or 
at least has told somebody where they are hidding. Otherwise Snape 
couldn't have found them, and the Potters knew this.

The second point is, that if Snape overheard Peter telling Voldemort, 
than he must have known that Peter was the betrayer and not Sirius. 
Therefore he let Sirius rot in Azkaban for years, although he knew 
that Sirius was innocent. And later he caught him again and wanted to 
sent bring him back to the Dementors, eagerly awaiting his execution 
(which really is bad enough, even if he thought Sirius to be guilty). 
I wouldn't put this completely past Snape, seeing how much he hates 
Sirius, but IMO it would definitely destroy any possibility of him 
being redeemable.

Luckdragon:

Both good points. For the first my answer would be that James hated and distrusted Snape so much he was blind to what was happening and it did not sink in until it was too late. On your second point I posted earlier that Snape may have been informed second hand that the Potters had been found. Either Voldemort himself or possibly Lucius ran into Snape and let out that he was on his way to rid himself of the Potters.
