I don't try to convince anyone to agree with my views, I just love to inflict my interpretationson unsuspecting readers... That's what fanon is all about!
I am also convinced that Sirius was a vicious, violent jerk, and that James was an arrogant prick, and that Remus didn't want to interfere... It is in accordance with what we see of them as adults, and they agree they have acted that way. The only objection I've got against seeing the Pensieve scene as fully objective is that it has been filtered through Snape's emotions and memories. The facts were all there, but they're tainted by Snape's emotions.
That is also very true that we learn about Snape from Sirius. But we also learn about Sirius through Snape's eyes, in this particular scene. Since I am giving Snape the benefit of the doubt - he joined the Death Eaters, he is a bullying git, after all, and still, I don't say he's Evil(TM) - I think it is only right to allow the same for Sirius.
