To say nothing of the fact, mentioned repeatedly, that James wasn't the reason for the split. The fact that Snape was allying himself with people that wanted people like Lily dead did.
I'm not excusing Petunia's behaviour, even though I did feel a bit of sympathy for her (she's interested in music, she's the unattractive older sister while Lily is the beautiful interested one who gets to do magic, when she tries to enter that world herself, it blows up in her face, she gets mocked for it, the magical world steals her only sister away and later gets her killed - no, she shouldn't have treated Harry like that, but years and years of resentment are hard to shrug off).
But Petunia didn't try to have her sister's husband and son murdered so she could win her back to the family. She abused Harry because of who his parents were - she didn't abuse hundreds of kids for years because of her anger and resentment. She didn't try to kill a little boy's pet or refuse to let a girl get medical treatment after being cursed.
DH might have made people sympathise more for Snape, but it just made me dislike him more. He didn't help Harry because he genuinely saw the ill of the ways - he helped him because, yes, he was the only thing left of her (but only after his plan to have him murdered so he could have her himself failed). He didn't learn from his mistakes. Petunia showed an inkling that she was actually capable of doing so. Slow process, sure - but she started to change. Snape never did.
