Now RSFJenny here:

Let's throw a little more canon into the mix here, eh?

"Lily, whose furious expression had twitched for an instant as though she was 
going to smile, said, 'Let him down!'"(OotP, Ch 28, p.648US ed)

Now, Lily may be defending Snape because she'd do it for anyone, this shows, 
IMO, that she's not exactly a fan of his, nevertheless.  She *did* think it 
was funny.  

I know, I know, you're all ready to protest that it's not about how Lily 
feels about Snape, but the other way around.  But even if he *did*, at one point, 
have a crush on her, do you really think he still would after he realized she 
found the whole thing funny?  Perhaps he didn't see her face twitch, you 
argue?  Maybe, but it's still canon that he *could* have seen it.

Furthermore, on the same page he goes on to say, "'I don't need help from 
filthy little Mudbloods like her!'"

Can you really think he didn't mean it??  Sheesh, let's just go say the most 
horrible insult in the world right to the person we have a crush on! Sure....

Snape hates James, and here he is, being "rescued" from James by a girl!  And 
a Mudblood to boot!  No wonder he's completely humiliated, just imagine how 
his fellow Slytherins teased him after!

Ah, I love hating Snape, it's so satisfying...
