I always thought they were basically supposed to be seen as the same type of person underneath their outward sociability: large egos borne of insecurity that made them into terrible bullies. James just had the ability to interact with other people in a way that Snape didn't, making him the more "likable" of the two. I've no doubt that if James hadn't died when he did, we would have seen a dad of many noogies/wet willies/other sundry violations of personal space and slews of "joking" insults that chip away at a child's self-confidence-- meanwhile, Snape chips away at it through bitterness and harsh words.

They're both people who think they're doing the best thing, without looking to an outside source to confirm if what's in their heads is even vaguely all right. So in that sense, I find them both compelling. I'm not sure if "like" is the right word, but I don't "dislike" them either, so it's a bit more complicated than that, I think.
