Snape's or Lily's Handwriting? (RE: Rosmerta and EstherS)

Rosmerta said
With Slughorn stressing over and over again what a Potions genius 
Lily was,
methinks many of those hints in Harry's book were originally from 
her. Want
to bet Lily and Severus were Potions partners?

EstherS Says
I'm not sure whether Lily helped Snape or vice versa or they just 
worked it
out together. Snape is known to be an excellent Potions master, it is
mentioned several times in PoA and again in HBP by Lupin.
Also remember (correct me if I'm wrong) that Snape wrote all his 
recipes on
the board (not relying on the text-book) and while Snape was Potions 
master
Hermione's potions came out perfectly.

If Snape wrote all these notes in his book surely Lily would have 
done the
same. James could quite easily having taken a peek at Lily's text 
book.


Chys:

THIS BUGS ME! Why didn't Harry recognize the handwriting? Did he? 
Handwriting doesn't change that much over time. 

Was it Lily's? Could they (Lily/Snape) have worked them out together, 
and that be how James had learned of Snape's spells, by learning them 
from Lily? The marauders did seem very cautious around her, like she 
was a fuse ready to be lit under their bums. It takes a long time to 
experiment with spells and potions, to do all that at such a young 
age leads me to believe the both of them were in on it.
