No, this sound does not exist in Russian.

The fact that they indeed were enemies from the first year really does 
not preclude anything that I speculated about from being correct.

I did not say that Snape hated James **just** because he was attracted 
to Lily, or maybe I was not clear about it.

I said that Snape who was attracted to purebloodism and wanted to be a 
part of it ( speculation obviously, but IMO supported by the fact that 
Snape joined DE and called Lily mudblood), hated pureblood James ( whom 
as I said he hated anyways for the other reasons), because pureblood 
James dared to love muggleborn and all restraints be damned.

That does not even require Snape having feelings for Lily, although if 
he did, that would be nice additional reason.

That just requires Snape thinking how dare pureblood James pursues 
muggleborn witch.

And of course it is possible that Snape was cowardly enough to not do 
so.
