Nonsense.  James saw a convenient target in Snape; there is nothing
in his attitude that suggests he took Snape seriously as an opponent.
 And Snape knew it; one of the reasons he fights back so hard, I
think, is that he's determined to make James respect him as an
opponent.

Do we know that Snape was "on the path to being DE at this time"?  I
don't think so.  We don't know when Snape made that decision.
