Heh, yes, or even our words :-)

And Severus and Sirius are certainly not the only ones, it is just 
they come to my mind as the quickest example of two people erm.. not 
liking what each other would say, like ever.

For example, I was pretty sure that during their altercation in CoS 
Lucius and Arthur used just fists, but now I am not so sure.

"Clearly," said Mr. Malfoy, his pale eyes straying to Mr. and Mrs. 
granger, who were watching apprehensively. "The company you keep, 
Weasley... and I thought your family could sink no lower--"

There was a thud of metal as Ginny's cauldron went flying; Mr. 
Weasley had thrown himself at Mr. Malfoy, knowcking him backward into 
bookshelf." - CoS, p.62, paperback.

Alla:

I am cutting off the rest of the fight, because I wonder, how exactly 
Ginny's cauldron went flying? Did Ginny threw it? Could be, or Arthur 
was fast with his wand or wandless magic? But regardless, here 
clearly Arthur does not like what is being said and reacts NOT with 
words.


Or how about this?

"Lucius Malfoy stood for a moment, and Harry distinctly saw his right 
hand twitch as though he was longing to reach for his wand. Instead, 
he turned to his house - elf.
"We're going, Dobby!" - CoS, p.337

Alla:

Hm, Lucius clearly did not like what Harry and Dumbledore were 
saying. He controlled himself in front of Dumbledore, but he almost 
did not.
