The books never mention any hints about a Snape-Lily infatuation. 
Although Snape does have a couple of hang-ups with James...one being 
that James was a good Quidditch player and the other was the Whomping 
Willow incident.

But I have a feeling there's something else involved. Jealousy is one 
thing but to blame James for Sirius' joke is pretty, well, stupid.
