Potioncat:
I'm choosing this post to respond to because it's one of the later 
ones that discusses the possibility that James and Sirius hated 
Severus because they knew he was a DE.

Well in GoF (IIRC) we have Sirius saying that he never heard anyone 
say Snape was a DE. And he doesn't think Snape was one because DD 
wouldn't hire Snape if he had been a DE. (He also says that Snape 
would have been cunning enough to hide it.)

But my point is, 35 year old Sirius does not think Snape was a DE.  
So I don't think 15 year old Sirius thought so either. What ever bad 
blood there was between these boys does not excuse the incident.  
And I would say so even if it had been Snape who attacked James. 

Given how strongly the differing sides on the list feel about this 
incident, the threads that come up after HBP should be real doozies!
