Charme:

I think it's James who says that to Lily in the Penseive memory, not Sirius:

'Well,' said James, appearing to deliberate the point, 'it's more the fact 
that he exists, if you know what I mean."

Still, the animosity between Snape and Sirius is overwhelming - the one line 
I keep referring back to is one Sirius makes to Snape when Harry has to meet 
with Snape unexpectedly after Christmas about Occulmency:

'You know,' said Sirius loudly, leaning back on his rear chair legs and 
speaking to the ceiling, 'I think I'd prefer it if you didn't give orders 
here, Snape. It's my house, you see.'

His house, hm?  Things that make you think....
