On James in Snapes memory:
For me this episode in the book was always the `typical' 
deconstruction for/by Harry of the hero image of his father. 
A very important way to `grow up' and find his own way in life and 
look into his own strengths. 
And also a tiny step towards reconciling Snape and Harry, although 
that never took place really, very unfortunate IMO.

In OoP Sirius wanted Harry so much to be like James but that 
ultimately needed to fail. And especially in PoA James is painted so 
much as Harry's ultimate hero, with no flaws, just a `perfect' memory.

Which then brings me to Lily, as the pure, perfect, angel-like? I do see her like this at the moment too, but isn't that just a `perfect' memory too?

Snape put that particular memory in the pensive in order to discredit James in Harry's eyes. He then had Draco call him out so that Harry (being typical Harry) would view the memory.

Subsequently Malfoy never once mentions remedial Potions and that in itself is strange.
