   Personally I see no indication or necessity for
Snape having any interest at all in Lily Evans. He
makes it quite clear he hated James, (and the other
marauders) and now Harry for their 'arrogance' and
because they constantly break rules and get away with
it. Personally I can empathize, it would be
frustrating and infuriating to see somebody apparently
getting away with murder - especially if it also
seemed to you like you and your gang were always
getting punished for things others didn't, (I'm not
saying this was necessarily the case just that it may
have looked that way to the young Snape). This
percieved injustice may be the reason Snape so
obviously favors the Slytherins, maybe he feels like
he's just making up for the prejudice they face from
other teachers.
