Oh, yes, I hated that adjective "greedy". It struck me as cruel and inaccurate on many levels.
And another thing I just noticed when reading your comment. In this pensieve memory, Lily is "Lily", but Severus (at the age of 9 or 10, at most!) is "Snape". Another deliberate distancing from the character, and, again, completely unnecessary. GRRR!
