Alla:

NO, Pippin, it does not make him better. It is just makes the 
picture more complete, because I just don't see Snape as innocent 
angel in his schoolyears. I just think that we will find out more 
about why James and Sirius hated him so, I just don't think that we 
know everything yet, that is all.

Although if Sirius never used Dark Arts, I can certainly see him 
hating someone who did, even if such hatred is absolutely misplaced.
