Yes, both stood for different beliefs and both loved the same woman.

James Potter was an arrogant teenage boy. He and his mates ganged up on Severus Snape the moment they met him. James was popular and the leader of the Marauders and so was big headed. He randomly hexed people just because he could and in an attempt to impress Lily Evans - who was very much against his bullying and was, at that point, Snape's best friend.

However, deep down James was a good person and Snape was mean and nasty. James eventually grew up and stopped randomly hexing people whilst Snape become more involved with the Dark Arts and became a bully himself - only when Snape and his friends hexed people they used dark magic and spells that Snape had invented (at least one of which James used against him).

In his fifth year, Snape called Lily and mud-blood and ended their friendship as she decided he was too involved with the Dark Arts. By seventh year, James had grown up enough for Lily to love him and they began to date.
