Snape was never a good guy though. Very brave, yes and he had some good qualities. He was also vindictive and a bully - willing to put his petty dislikes above the quality of his teaching.

He was also vindictive and a bully

I formed the impression that James Potter and his gang were the real bullies, and Snape is a tragic character traumatized by their bullying.

Yes, but then he went on to be an adult bullying children.

The book strongly implies that Snape turns into a horrible person as a direct consequence of James Potter's bullying. He seems to be a nice kid before that.
