Pippin:
Then why is he so adamant that the joke would have "resulted
in my death", and why does he say that James only saved him
to help out his friends? (Much the same rationale that Harry 
gives for saving Peter.) Adult Snape clearly regards Lupin as
very dangerous. He ties up Lupin, not the proven murderer
Sirius.

I think that the "my memory is as good as
it ever was" has to do with Snape's career as a Death Eater...
I don't think he spent  his time conjuring "Voldy Lives"
badges and passing out leaflets. For my money,
Snape is in no position to talk about who's capable of
murder.
