They're the same age.  They were Head Boy and Head Girl together, 
neh?  And even if they weren't, they could only be, at most, about 
two years apart, still making the Snape and LV relations void.  I 
always thought of a lot of the Snape and LV theories as being 
uncharacteristically convoluted of Rowling, anyway.  Illicit affairs 
don't strike me as something she'd put in a childrens' novel.  Could 
Lily be related to Snape or LV?  It's possible, though I don't 
personally see Rowling going that way.  Just as I don't personally 
see Snape having ever been in love with Harry's mother.  Just me, 
but it is possible, I suppose.
