Agreed.  I was responding to the previous poster, who specultated 
that one reason that Snape is the way he is could be because he was 
somewhat unpopular, shy, etc. and fell for Lily, who treated him 
badly.  What I was trying to point out is that we have evidence that 
Snape was not a loner or friendless, so I felt that this scenario 
didn't wash, regardless of Lily's behavior towards him.
