Allie:

I have to object.  Snape told Voldemort about the prophecy, causing 
Voldemort to target the Potters.  Potters die.

Snape goaded Sirius for inaction for an entire year.  He didn't make 
it clear to Harry that he had understood, "He's got Padfoot!" when 
Harry thought Voldemort had Sirius.  Ministry of Magic debacle 
ensues, Sirius dies.  While not directly Snape's fault, you can see 
why Harry blames him.

Snape cast an Avada Kedavra that Harry believes killed Dumbledore.   
Dumbledore dies (okay, it's up for debate, but Harry believes it).

Harry has a lot more reason to feel that Snape is to blame for the 
deaths in his life than Snape has to blame the Marauders for all of 
the problems in his.  It may be irrational in some instances, but I 
definitely think that Harry's feelings are more justified than 
Snape's.
