Which is nothing we haven't heard before from him, though every time Snape complains about Harry "breaking rules" it sounds very disingenuous to me. Snape doesn't hate Harry because he thinks rules are beneath him, but because of James (and I don't think he hated James because he "broke rules" either) I can see the conjunction of breaking the rules and getting away with it because James/Harry are the golden boy of Gryffindor especially infuriating him.
The practice of marking Death Eaters wasn't and isn't widely known, even to someone who has every reason to know a lot about the DEs. It's sort of hard to imagine how the secret could be kept, unless you accept that the mark could be hidden at will.
It always annoys me when people forget this in canon. Or have Sirius know that Snape was a Death Eater during the First War.
That's Rosier, Wilkes, Bellatrix, Rodolphus, and Avery. If we take what Sirius says in OotP into account, we can add Lucius to the "gang", I reckon. I wonder how many of them were in Snape's year. Lucius' older, of course. We know Bellatrix must be older, at least by a couple of year. I'd be surprised if Rodolphus was younger than her.
