Perhaps this was a later conversation and Lily was warning him about the 
types of things he was getting into...or else Snape was telling her tales of 
Dementors in a way to be scary and impressive.

Yeah, since HBP Snape/Lily seems very close to a done deal to me, with 
"horrid boy" also being Snape.  I have to join you in laughing at the idea 
that Rowling is playing with cliches--but lets face it, when people write 
these kinds of articles they never have a clue.  Many people seem to think 
that half the stuff that's standard in the books was made up in 1997.  A 
school for wizards?  Never been done before!
