We saw that Snape would be minding his own business and James would harass him. James was popular with his gang of friends, Snape was generally a loner. When James bullied him everyone cheered him on and laughed at Snape. They weren't in equal positions of power.

I don't think that our sample set of n=1 is enough to conclude that those things are generally true

And we actually know that Snape was not a loner, viz, he was a Death Eater and ran with a crowd of proto-Death Eaters at Hogwarts

How was he a loner just because he was seen alone reading a book in that one scene? We know he had friends in Slytherin who all (like he did) aspired to join the wizarding Nazis. Lily herself pointed out that Snape and his friends would go around attacking muggleborns like Mary Macdonald with dark magic, calling them slurs all the while.

Is there a clear definition in the series of what qualifies as 'dark' magic? I mean, this is a series where the titular hero using 'Crucio' gets labelled in-text as 'gallant'.

You could make this same argument about various instances in the years-long saga of Harry v. Draco mutual antagonism. Were the "Potter Stinks" badges OBVIOUSLY a mass campaign of socially ostracizing and publicly humiliating an abuse victim who'd already endured years of social isolation at the hands of his abusers?

It's up to you, thanks to the magic of selective reasoning and rhetorical devices.
