KMC:
James saves Severus in their 6th year.  In OOTP, we see from Snape's 
worst memory that calling Lily a Mudblood happen in their 5th year In 
DH, Lily stopped talking to Severus after he called her a Mudblood.

How did the Snape get the memory of talking to Lily after the tunnel 
rescue if Lily didn't talk to Severus after 5th year?


Juli:
The Prank takes place in the sixth year, we know that for a fact.
Snape's Worst Memory (calling Lily a Mudblood) happens at their 5th 
year (right after the OWLS). Do we know that Lily didn't talk to 
Snape after that? As I see it she only stopped talking to him during 
that day, we have nothing on whether they talked afterwards or not. 
My guess is that they did. In the seventh year Lily started dating 
James, I'm guessing her love for him made her cast the doe patronus, 
also in the seventh year they learn how to cast a patronus. Severus 
must have seen it, otherwise how to explain Severus' patronus? I bet 
they continue to talk, perhaps they weren't best friends afterwards, 
but still friends.
