What if other teachers behaved like Snape?

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.

 
Neri:
I tend to agree. We didn't run the "worst memory" strand to its end, 
and there were two more "worst memories" strands that Harry didn't 
look at. It is not even necessary to imagine James so extremely 
cruel. People can wound each other very deeply even when they don't 
really mean to (do I hear somebody shouts LOLLIPOPS?). My point, 
however, was that Snape DOES hate Harry, and he hates him because he 
is James' son. DD words suggest he initially thought Snape should 
overcome these feelings, at least in regard to Harry, and he was 
disappointed when it turned out that Snape couldn't.
