Snow:
 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.<

Harry agrees with Lily that James was just as offensive to her as 
Snape was.  Dehumanizing someone on account of sex is just 
as bad as dehumanizing  on account of  race, IMO. James was 
behaving rudely whether he used rude language or not.
