Err...did we read the same books?
1) Lily hated James for at least the first five years they knew each other. A large part of this (it's strongly implied) was due to his treatment of Snape. In fact, the canon goes to great lengths to point this out, because Harry gets a little queasy about it, dwells on it, and even floos Sirius and Remus about it.
2) She didn't let it go on long, she just got there. She was somewhere else, and then she was there, and stopped them. (You can't take Remus to task for being a Prefect and not stopping them, either, those were his only friends and they accepted him despite knowing he was a werewolf. Leave poor Remus alone, he never wanted to hurt anyone.)
3) Have you met any eleven year olds? They aren't exactly the most emotionally conscious people. Of course Lily was concerned with her own issues. She was a preteen.
4) Lily was quite a good friend, even by what evidence we have. She was concerned that Snape was hanging around with obvious future Death Eaters. She didn't want him to become one, so she tried to appeal to him and point out that it was obvious they were bad. Young Lily sure seemed to hate bullies an awful lot--James and Sirius included.
5) Also from all accounts, Snape was a piece of work as a teenager, too. Even taking Remus's and Sirius's explanations with a grain of salt ["He knew more Dark curses when he came into school than half the Seventh year."] there's got to be something to base it on--plus he tried to give as good as he got, it's just that James had backup (Sirius) and Snape didn't. If he had, it would've been more like Draco/Crabbe/Goyle versus Harry/Ron/Hermione--less bullying and more rivalry.
...Wait, I'm using Earth Logic, aren't I. Those people don't speak this language.
