It would appear that DD knows about something that occurred between 
James and Severus that was so terrible that he would say "some 
wounds run too deep for the healing." That's *some wound*. We're not 
hearing about the pensieve attack here, I'm sure of it. JKR has 
intimated that the motivation behind "the prank" was nothing more 
than Sirius' hatred of Snape. And Snape sees that as attempted 
murder. DD shrugged it off with the aside 'my memory is as good as 
it ever was' back in PoA. He doesn't seem to think THAT wound was 
too deep. I shudder to think what the wound James inflicted was if 
the same DD is saying that it 'runs too deep for the healing. 



Melpomene, who can't add anything to Kneasy's (once again) brilliant 
comparison between Snape's "hatred" of Harry and Harry's blatant 
hatred of Snape.
