There is something in another current post (can't remember which) 
that sort of ties in with this.

We know that Voldy wanted to kill Harry & James, and not necessarily 
Lily, so that makes both Harry & James special if Voldy wanted to 
specifically kill them. So, what if this "special" thing, and also 
the fact that they are both talented at quidditch and popular, makes 
Snape so jealous? He may have been popular at school, but only with 
the slimy Slytherins. IMO, No-one from any other houses would have 
gone within a 10-mile radius of him. 

My thory - James was, and Harry is, everything Snape wasn't. Cue the 
jealousy.
