Pippin:
who is also willing to give Sirius the benefit of the doubt, even
though he says it would have served Snape right if he'd been
killed.

Snow- going off a bit on Sirius' benefit of the doubt:
There are always two sides to a story and we really don't know the 
whole story behind why that joke occurred and why Sirius said it 
would have served Snape right. We were only given a one-sided view of 
that whole scenario. What did Snape do to provoke such a response 
from Sirius? He must have done something to one of Sirius' friends, 
most likely James, for Sirius to have said it would have served him 
right. Served him right for what!

I don't think we have been allowed to know that whole scene anymore 
than the scenes in the pencieve in Snape's office. You can defiantly 
misinterpret if you don't have all the facts. Like Harry feeling 
sorry for Snape because he was viewing what he saw from Snape's view 
of "his" worst memory. To bad there wasn't a pencieve thought from 
James' point of view so you could have seen the other side of the 
coin. Harry does ask Sirius and, if Harry was listening, was told 
that Snape never missed an opportunity to curse James. What are some 
of the things that Snape did to James? It's just a bit one-sided 
here. We are allowed to see what has happened to Snape but not some 
of the things that Snape obviously did to James. How can you form a 
healthy decision based on half the fact. We do know that at some 
point Snape did become a death eater and knew way too much about the 
dark arts. This fact seemed to be dismissed by Harry when he felt bad 
for the way in which his father treated Snape and for that matter 
what Snape called his mother. You know that person (Lily) that only 
saved his life. Harry knew that Hermione was called the same dirty 
word by Draco, and yet Harry dismissed this in the pencieve scene and 
felt bad for Snape. I personally don't even understand how Harry 
could be sympathetic to a person (Snape) who just called his mother a 
mudblood. Just for this fact, I would have appreciated what my father 
had done to Snape if I were Harry.
