Snape as Iago -

By the way, Snape also told James not to trust Sirius. Was he trying
to get James to switch keepers? Did James tell him to go to hell? Did
Snape then go to Sirius and make him doubt his keeper abilities? Is
that why Sirius made Peter keeper?

Vivian, in which book & chapter does this exchange take place ? My
memory is foggy, like Slughorn's.....

vmonte again:
PoA, page 361, U.S. paperback edition
Here is the quote -

Snape:
"SILENCE! I WILL NOT BE SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT!"
Snape shrieked, looking madder than ever. "Like father, like son, 
Potter! I have just saved your neck; you should be thanking me on 
bended knee! You would have been well served if he'd killed you! 
You'd have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might 
be mistaken in Black--now get out of the way, or I will make you.
GET OUT OF THE WAY, POTTER!"

vmonte:
This always sounded like Snape tried to warn James about Sirius,
but maybe he didn't. I wonder if Snape originally wanted to be 
friends with James (just like Draco did with Harry), but was then 
rejected by James?

There is another paragraph that caught my attention.
page 365

Sirius:
"...The night they died, I'd arranged to check on Peter, make sure he 
was still safe, but when I arrived at his hiding place, he'd gone. 
Yet there was no sign of a struggle. It didn't feel right. I was 
scared..." 

vmonte:
Sound familiar. Olivander, anyone? Nice place to work, no? He 
remembers every wand sold and every student that purchased one. How 
old is this guy? Did he also sell Tom Riddle his wand?
