We have Lily's statement that James was a bully. And Snape probably was
too. They're tied in the bad boy department.

Now, let's compare Regulus and Severus. I get the feeling that you feel
sorry for ickle Reggie. Some big bad DE recruited him; he came in,
making his Moma proud; then found out what it was all about; changed
his mind; and was killed. OK, I feel for him too.

I feel sorry for ickle Sevvie. Some big bad DE recruited him; he came
in; then found out what it was all about and who was going to get hurt
so changed his mind; and began working against the DEs.

I'll accept your disagreement if you believe Snape is either ESE or
OFH. But we cannot really know what motivated Regulus either.
Personally, I think cousins Bella, Narcissa or Lucius are as likely a
source of recruitment as Severus.

Ickle Reggie? LOL! No, I don't feel sorry for Regulus as a matter of 
fact. Ultimately, Regulus is responsible for his own actions, just 
like Snape is. It doesn't mean that Sirius shouldn't feel resentment 
towards Snape if he indeed was the one who recruited his younger 
brother. 

BTW, I wasn't talking about Regulus's motives in my previous post. 
Only ickle Snape's and ickle Sirius's motives.
