Well, as I pointed out in my post earlier today, we have three people
who make comments indicating that the James-Snape feud wasn't an
equal one: Lily ("What's he ever done to you?"), Lupin ("Did I ever
tell you to lay off Snape?") and Sirius himself ("Well you made us
feel guilty sometimes..." and "...arrogant berks, you mean").  

No one has addressed those comments or explained how they could jibe
with a Snape who was could give as good as he got.  Lily also points
out that James hexed people "who annoyed you just because you can". 
Not "people who were bullies" or "people who were hassling little
kids" - but just people who annoyed him.  

We're getting some clear signals here and I really think we're not
supposed to be ignoring them.
