unforgivable; he saved his life". Do you think james might have
been involved in converting Snape to the good side?

NOT. Snape resents him because the thing he saved Snape from was
James fault.

Strictly it was Sirious who sent Snape down the tunnel. James found
out and warned Snape. Probably more to save Sirious from getting into
trouble than anything else.
But no, they still hated each other.

it was Sirius who "sent" Snape down not James.

There is still the possibility that James was involved in converting Snape.
Harry only saw his father in memories when he was an immature teenage boy.
Lupin said that James became much more mature when James grew up some.

James may have been part of the conversion but the saving his life is more
likely the Lupin thing.
