Exactly. From what we saw in canon, Lily had a strong sense of ethics, and would never have fallen for James if he were totally irredeemable. I don't much like writing black and white characters, but I like to write characters that don't get along. Snape and any of the Marauders (erm, not Peter) is great for that.
