Zara:
The point (in a discussion of Lily's motives) is not that he did or 
did not. Lily does not know - she was not there. The point is Lily's 
immediate acceptance of James' version of the story, without even 
bothering to obtain Snape's side of the story.

Zara:
Would it also be awkward prose to ask somewhere in that conversation 
(like, when they first see one another after shes has learned this 
fact) "Sev! I heard you almost got killed last night!! Are you OK?"
