Canon
SS/PS chapter 17 DD says that Severus and James detested each other
and James saved Severus' life. He goes on to say, "Funny the way
people's minds work, isn't it? Professor Snape couldn't bear being in
your father's debt...I do believe he worked so hard to protect you
this year because he felt that would make him and your father even."

PoA chapter 14 Snape says, "And did the headmaster tell you the
circumstances in which your father saved my life?..."
"...your saintly father and his friends played a highly amusing joke
on me that would have resulted in my death if your father hadn't
gotten cold feet at the last moment..."

Oops, I'd forgotten that 2nd quote.  I guess that kills my 
budding theory.  Oh, well, it was fun for a while...
