James didn't need to "completely turn around". It never said anywhere that he bullied kids all the time. The books said he hexed people for fun, which ALL the students do. Like, even Harry does this! They're all known for it. I mean, Levicorpus was the fad that year, everyone was using it on each other. I mean, James and Sirius were compared to Fred and George by the profs. If the profs were fond enough of them, I highly doubt they were the bullies fandom makes them out to be. Not to mention they wouldn't be well-liked and admired, like the text says they were time and time again.

James and Snape specifically had a rivalry. The bullying went both ways. Even Lily herself points this out: "Why are you so obsessed with them anyways?" (Lily was smart and kind, she would NOT say this if James was constantly bullying Snape mercilessly.) And Snape was trying to show her that they weren't as good as everyone thought they were... which means Lily didn't think that badly of James in the first place. And his only real argument against him? It was that James snuck around at night with a werewolf. Which didn't fly with Lily.
