I'm afraid you're jumping to extreme conclusions without evidence a lot here.
Classic example is it being a huge WARNING SIGN that teenage boys sneaked out to drink. You must be afraid of everyone then (because GUESS WHAT, teenage girls do it too. I will testify against myself).
Listen, Lily/Severus has been my OTP since before the fifth book came out, I don't know if anyone was happier than me about "The Prince's Tale"...but I'm not going to trash other characters (like James) to try to shine up the ugly bits to their relationship. No one wishes more than me that Lily hadn't broken her friendship off with Severus after he called her a Mudblood, I think it was rash and not thoroughly thought out, maybe even unwise, but you can't completely blame her for it. He called her a horrible, horrible name, and more importantly despite her repeated warnings and pleas, he was associating and getting into a group of people who are, in fact, the KU KLUX KLAN. Targeting people just like Lily. In fact, they were targeting her, whether or not Seveurs himself was planning to do her any personal harm. That's pretty unforgivable.
Lily knew Severus much better than James; there is nothing to indicate she would have listened to him in the slightest if he tried to "poison" her about him, she acted on what she KNEW herself to be true. And her breaking the friendship had nothing to do with James. There's nothing to indicate she was a golddigger, that's ridiculous.
Likewise, there is nothing to indicate the Marauders suspected Remus because he was a werewolf. It was the whole atmosphere at the time, everyone was suspecting everyone else - Remus said it himself, he suspected Sirius of being of the traitor.
Sigh, I didn't mean to write this much because I don't think it's going to do much good, but I do have to put my voice of dissent out there.
One last thing:
accio her wand
Lol, oxymoron much?
