Not that there's the slightest indication in canon of that...but even 
if there was...

It's a good thing for Remus that James's family wasn't injured by 
Death Eater werewolves, I suppose, and a good thing for Hagrid 
it wasn't Death Eater giants. And a good thing for Hermione that 
she wasn't around back then, since she disagrees with a 
Ministry approved textbook about which spells ought to be 
considered dark, and has been known to raid the restricted 
section herself.  

 Does the fact that Gryffindors treated him  badly when he was in 
school make you think better of Snape for treating Gryffindors 
badly now?
