Snape was abusive to children, from a position of authority as a teacher, when he was well into his thirties.

James was a bullying dick to a kid his own age when he was 15.

Even leaving aside any of the Voldemort shit, Snape is not the better person in this equation. Even if you want to say neither of them was good, looking at what we actually see of them in objective text, the guy who's an asshole to someone in his peer group is still less worse than the guy who's an asshole to vulnerable children he's expected to be a caretaker for.

James remained a bully with a hero complex to the end who didn't think things through, continuously at least provoking Vernon and Petunia, becoming part of the Order without even thinking of putting his family somewhere the couldn't be targeted, etc.

provoking Vernon and Petunia

Who were demonstrably provoked in canon by wizards daring to exist. And were grown adults, not children.

Snape deliberately tormented children.

becoming part of the Order without even thinking of putting his family somewhere the couldn't be targeted

His family who, a the time he joined the Order, consisted of Lily, who was a grown adult capable of making her own decisions - and who also decided to join the Order. They had Harry later, and both of them decided to remain in the Order, because strangely enough they thought resisting a genocidal lunatic was important. Futhermore, he did put his family somewhere they couldn't be targeted, under a spell of secrecy meant to protect them from ever being found, and even took reasonable, well-meaning advice not to use the expected person. The only reason Voldemort found them was because they were betrayed.

Snape joined up with the aforementioned genocidal lunatic, and is the only reason Voldemort knew of the prophecy in the first place.

Snape: still not the better person in this equation.
