Yo'm Blair

I would also see this as very unlikely seeing as we do not see 
any other incidents of James possibly saving Snape's life. But I do
have one question about James saving the life of Snape here.

Lupin came into close enough contact with a werewolf before 
entering Hogwarts to become one himself but of course he did not die 
he merely became a werewolf.  It would seem that Snape, having several years at school to learn to defend himself would meet at worst a similar fate as Lupin. If this is so did James really save Snape's life or merely his existence as a non-wwrewolf?
 
It is this question that has always given me an inkling that 
the life debt Snape owes James comes from a different source. This 
is my first post and I hope it doesn't just retread things already 
discussed but it seems like and interesting question at least to me
