Voldemort would hunt from then onwards, or that the parents he would
destroy in his muderous quest were people that Professer snape knew,
that they were your mother and father...

Um, Harry gets it 100% right, actually, since it hardly matters that
Snape doesn't know which boy LV would hunt, or that Snape kenw or did
not know them. I mean, really, it doesn't matter. If it was some
unknown boy to some unknown parents LV was going to hunt and kill,
would that have been peachy?

Harry is giving Snape far more compassion here than Albus - he's
giving Snape a general justification, where Albus is giving a specific
one regarding a specific victim, but leaving Snape still not giving a
damn about "some" victim.
