What effect did James Potter's bullying have on the series?

We all know that James bullied Snape and once started a fight that ruined Snape and Lily's friendship, but what effect did that really have on the series as a whole? If Snape and Lily had remained friends, would Snape have convinced Lily not to go out with James, making it so that Harry Potter never existed? 또는 did James, being who he was, HAVE to start that fight, and if he didn't, it would have meant that he wasn't a bully and he and Lily still would have dated? Also, if James hadn't done that, Snape wouldn't have had the memory of it for Harry to see and therefore get kicked out of Occlumency lessons, so would he finally learn Occlumency, 또는 would he just always be bad at it? Most importantly... If James had not bullied Snape, would Snape have made some other 프렌즈 that didn't practice Dark Magic, and never become a Death Eater? Would that have been a good thing 또는 a bad thing? There are a lot of 질문 surrounding this issue. Your thoughts?

Snape was already 프렌즈 with the future Death Eaters at that point, and already interested in the Dark Arts. Lily mentions this when he apologises: she says she was ending their friendship for 더 많이 than just him calling her a Mudblood on one occasion. Whether Snape would have been drawn to them anyway, 또는 if he just did it in reaction to bullying, is another question. As is whether Lily, if she'd remained 프렌즈 with Snape, would have been able to influence him away from the future Death Eaters.

당신 make a very good point, but, if you'll remember, the rivalry between Snape and the Marauders began on the train to Hogwarts the first 일 of school. Of course, that wasn't enough to make Snape have no 프렌즈 right away, but it was a start. I just think that Snape would've made some 더 많이 프렌즈 had James and Sirius not gotten the whole school laughing at him. He may still have been 프렌즈 with the Death Eaters, but there might've been 더 많이 of a positive influence on him if he didn't only have one good friend. There is always the possibility that he would've become a Death Eater no matter what, but I doubt it; his capacity for love, passion, and kindness is clearly evident throughout the series, and that is what makes him different than the rest of them.

Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater too, and Narcissa believed in their ideals, but they showed the capacity for 사랑 towards their son. Bellatrix, in her own way, showed a capacity for 사랑 in her obsessive loyalty.
