Peggy W:
I don't remember this at all. IIRC in POA Snape calls James
"arrogant" regarding his "trust in Black" but I don't think it's
stated anywhere that they ever had any direct conversation about the
Secret Keeper issue. Or was this stated somewhere besides in the
Shrieking Shack confrontation? If Snape is known to have had any
contact with James after their school days together, I have completely
forgotten reading about it.

Patricia:
I don't recall ever seeing anything about Severus being the one to change James' mind about his secretkeeper. This would of course drastically change everything, because it would mean that Snape coerced James into switching his secretkeeper from loyal Sirius to Pettigrew whom Snape must have known was a traitor because Snape was himself playing on both sides (on orders or not). If you could let us know where you thought you saw this info, please do.
