I believe that this is truly Snape's worst memory, not the B version of the chapter.  I think we must all consider what torture life can be for a teenager and how confrontations and stife with others can completely color the rest of our lives when it occurs in these formative years.  Perhaps this truly WAS Snape's worst memory- to be utterly humiliated by James Potter in front of his schoolmates.  An adult's mistake in judgement may not provoke the same feeling of powerlessness and shame as a humiliating incident in the teenage years.  Of course, that is assuming an ESG! Snape.
