Oooh, that's a very clever point. Not that I believe JKR will go there 
for a second, but it's a very good theory.
Imagine, how it would contribute to Sirius' hate of Snape - knowing how 
his dearest friend James hates gays, feeling his own inclinations 
towards Remus, being ashamed of them, being horrified that James would 
realise he is one of "them". Yes, he wouldn't miss an opportunity to 
torture Snape, the "dirty pervert".

Before anyone screams how it does not make a psychological sense - it 
makes a perfect sense to me. During my childhood, the children who led 
an antisemitic campaigns, often had their own Jewish grandma or grandpa 
to hide.
