'But you call EVERYONE of my birth Mudblood, Severus'.
Quotes from DH, emphasis mine.
Snape had been using flagrantly racist language for some time before SWM, which was the last straw rather than an isolated incident. I'd call that a pretty big betrayal for someone with a Muggle-born friend. I certainly wouldn't call a black girl a traitor for dropping someone who used the n-word on everyone else and just thought she was the exception.
'Trying to feed him to a werewolf' - Sirius gave him the information, but no-one forced him into the tunnel. Apparently, outing someone's extremely stigmatised condition to their entire school is fine if it means proving to your crush that her housemates suck more than yours. Even if she's already told you she doesn't like any of them either.
'She sides with them again' - Didn't you say somewhere that you don't even have these books anymore? Because, IIRC, she stuck up for him when literally no-one else would and demanded they leave him alone, despite him having already spouted racist language around the school. Looking like she was going to smile for a second seems kinda small compared to him calling her a racist slur.
