I write:
I think that you've got something there. Have you ever noticed how
Petunia and Snape are never in the same place at the same time? (Evil
laugh, hoo hoo hoo ha a a haa).
No, but seriously, what if Snape and Petunia were siblings or at
least cousins. That would make Snape and Lily relatives. If this were
the case, then perhaps Snape's dislike for James was based on a
protectiveness he has for Lily, his little sister or cousin.
That would also give James a motive for saving Snape's life (because
Snape would be James's girlfriend's brother or cousin). That would
also explain why Snape seems to love and hate Harry. As Harry's
uncle, Snape feels like he must watch over Harry. At the same time,
because Harry reminds Snape so much of James, Snape dislikes Harry.
Just a theory

I believe the topic has been debated yet, but there also might be a tie between Lily Evans and the Weasleys. They all are red haired, and in PS/SS , Ron explains to hary: "I think Mum's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him" (english edition, p75). Isn't this second cousin related with Lily? He might be her father. After all, we don't know Molly's maiden name.But she's in her way a kind of a superlative mother, just like Lily. She might be an Evans. And this second cousin might be a squib. Lily would come eventually from an old wizarding family. But that's only a supposition...
By the way, I agree with you when you write Snape both loves and hates Harry. IMO, there's even more love than hatred in his behaviour. When he's rough with the boy, it's always on purpose, to teach him what he needs to know to become an adult wizard. Snape simply doesn't want to show how much he cares for Harry, maybe because he's got to deal with DE sons (his favouritism towards the Slytherins could be just a delusion, so he could win their trust and get informations about their families), or maybe because he isn't inclined to show his feelings. He has a part to play, and will play it till the end. Poor misunderstood Severus...
Iris, who can't help voicing theories, though it would be better to stick to facts and find out their deep meaning.
