[James and Sirius] even said the reason they harassed
Snape was that "he exists" and Lily said they hexed
anyone who annoyed them.
Then, after Lily left they hung him upside down in the
air and  James says "Who wants to see me take off
Snivelly's pants?"  Then the memory cuts off.  I don't
think there is any indication they left Snape alone
after that.

The memory in the pensieve was cut off because Snape
caught Harry observing his shame. If there was more
of Snape to expose, the Snively One would have had no
reason to terminate the memory after James' question 
and leave the rest dangling in his mind to be 
Legillimens by Harry. If Snape was able to avoid
further embarassment, he would leave the whole scene
in the memory as a moral victory to lessen the
satisfaction of the prying mind of his oppressors.

With all due apologies to Dennis Miller, I already
know more than I ever wanted to know about Snape's
pants, regardless of whether they were removed or not.
In fact, unless Snape is a eunuch, whether his
shortcomings were exposed or not really isn't too
material to the story.

That said, does anyone have any ideas what would
happen if Snape's memory as stored in the pensieve
somehow ended and Harry was still inside?
Would Harry have been able to get out on his own?
In the two instances where Harry "fell into" the 
ensieve, he was "pulled out" before the memories
were complete. Just curious....
