Actually, Snape didn't address his comment to Lily, he addressed it
to James.  "I don't help from mudbloods like HER".  He didn't give a
toss for Lily's feelings then (or later, IMO); I think he knew that
Potter liked Evans (it does strike me as the kind of thing that was
painfully apparent to onlookers even if James himself probably
thought he was being subtle and debonair) and that to call the Divine
Lily that word would really bug James.  And he was right, James did
get really upset after that.  Not exactly a brilliant example of
foresight on Snape's part but he was, shall we say, extremely
stressed himself at the time and possibly not very logical.
