Toonmili:
I think living with the guilt would be quite enough
punishment. He clearly feels bad about it, up to this day he can't
say Lily's name.

Snape did tell Voldemort the prophecy but Lily, James and Harry would
have been fine had Wormtail not sell them out. The difference between
Wormtail and Snape is that Snape never denied responsibility, he told
Dumbledore what he did. Wormtial hid as a rat, let another man who
was his friend spend 12 years in Azkaban and then lied about it when
he was discovered.

Another thing is that Snape repays his debts. When James saved his
life, Snape choose to repay it by saving Harry's life. Has Wormtail
ever tried to help Harry since he saved his life. No, not once. if
it's anyone who needs to experience any sort of justice it's him.

I think Snape's life is enough of a tragedy.
