your pensieve interpretation makes too much sense.
so much sense that i think i'm going to have to abandon my pensieve = canon notion.... Peter's characterization shocked the hell out of me, for all those why-peter-is-badass reasons listed elsewhere, so that won't be too hard to let go of...
but james and lily!!!!!!!!! i LOVE the way they act in the pensieve!!!! i love what an arrogant, evil little prick james is. i love how lily takes him on and yet (or rather, because she) is so obviously atrracted to the berk.
but on the other hand, sirius certainly jived with how i imagined him. and when harry related the memory to sirius and remus, they didn't argue with the facts of what happened... so maybe snape's knowledge colors the memory, but not his emotions, and maybe he just didn't know peter well enough for his mind to give him much depth
and snape himself in the memory didn't strike me as passive at all, simply not as skilled as james, which isn't hard to imagine, given the fact that james was supposed to be the best at everything And had backup. snape's awkward walk, hs wanting to be left alone, his vicious relatiation... these all fit perfectly well with an awkward, socially inept teenage boy who will later find acceptance and confidence with the death eaters. and remember, the person who said that snape knew so many curses was sirius, and it's not like he would hesitate to exagerate snape's evilness, especially if he associates snape with his own family.
on snack - angry bitch!sex, absolutely. not my cup of tea, but i appreciate the sentiment. ...and the hot sex...
