Richard:

Even the movie version of Snape is ambiguous and confusing.  I think they will have to give the viewer some insights into his actions, and a couple of flashbacks with Severus and Lily is not only the accurate way to do it but probably the easiest.  And I agree that JKR would probably object if they eliminated that story completely.  

I still have hope that the film makers intend to wrap up the story fairly accurately :)
