There seems to be a feeling like Snape brought the prank on himself and Peter earned death by betraying the Potters so Harry and James would have been justified in letting them die...
Pretty sickening, isn't it? Not so much with Peter, but with 15-year-old Snape... no matter what he might have done to annoy the Marauders, to say he "deserved" death (which does seem to be implied) is completely out of proportion. The more I think about these books' moral code, the more nauseating I find it - and the more I hope that I'm misreading things and it's not really as dire as it looks...
