Tonks:
Ceridwen, when you are finished with that iron, I will need to use 
it too.

Point 1. How do we know that no one liked Snape and did not want to 
come to his aid? Maybe it was that no one dared to oppose James and 
Sirius.  How many people, even if the had pitty for the victim would 
take on a bully? Or 2 bullies?  Lily was the brave one here, the 
only brave one.

Point 2. It is said in spell casting that one should be careful what 
one send out because it will come back to you. So here we see what 
the Wicca's call the rule of 3, that is the bad that you give out 
comes back to you 3 time more powerful than what you sent.
