I think "James stole her away" is very much how Snape sees things, but going from the flashback to their falling out I do not think that would be Lily's interpretation of events at all.

Throughout their last fight, they talk at cross purposes. Snape wants to talk about James. Lily, on the other hand, is trying to talk about Snape's beliefs as they effect her. James is irrelevant to Lily's reason for being angry. Snape essentially hurled a racial epithet at her during the bullying scene, and for her that's the crux of the issue that needs to be addressed between them. And Snape has no satisfactory answer for her.

"I've made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends — you see, you don't even deny it! You don't even deny that's what you're all aiming to be! You can't wait to join You-Know-Who, can you? ... "I can't pretend anymore. You've chosen your way. I've chosen mine."

That's not about James stealing her away. That's about Lily choosing to break a friendship because her friend can't tell her he isn't planning to join forces with a man dedicated to hurting people like her. She didn't turn her back in him 'for his enemy'. She did it for her own self-preservation.

Lily is her own person. Snape may have made it into an issue of rivalry with James over who owned her, but the heart of the issue that broke their friendship had nothing to do with James.
