one of the first people to Godrics Hollow then he saw James and his 
beloved(maybe) Lilly laying murdered. Shouldn't that be is worst 
memory?

Allie:

The chapter is called "Snape's Worst Memory" because either the 
narrator or *Harry* thinks that that's what it is.  Snape himself 
never says that it's his worst memory.  It could just be something 
Snape didn't want Harry to see, which is understandable.
