the only thing snape and james have in common is that they would both sacrifice james in order to save lily

The fact that James Potter only used the Levicorpus spell after Snape used Sectumsempra on him is really important and it’s not discussed enough. It really puts the contrast between both characters in perspective: James was making soap bubbles came out of Snape’s mouth and in the first chance to retaliate he gets, Snape tries to use a spell that spreads deep cuts all over James body. Noteworthy: Levicorpus, as Sectusempra, were made by Snape. It really says something about their personality that yes, James was being an asshole and humiliated Snape for no reason but Snape tried to phisically hurt him with dark magic and James would never get that far. And that’s the difference. And that’s why I love him.

if you think that professor mcgonagall didn’t love james potter then let me just explain to you how wrong you are because among james’ many talents he was really fan-fucking-tastic at two things: quidditch and transfiguration and those just happen to be mcgonagall’s favorite things so guess what he may have been a little shit but he was her little shit and you know she loved every minute of detention she had to chaperone with him
