Who would love Snape?

In an earlier post a quote from JKR was mentioned and part of it 
was "Who would (or could) love Snape?" Here's my idea of who would 
love Snape: She would be a very strong patient witch. Probably a 
Hufflepuff. She would at first think of Snape as the dark/mysterious 
bad boy type and then after she forced her way into his life she 
would see the pain and anger underneath his nasty exterior and have 
to fix it. She would also find that he is a VERY loyal and 
trustworthy wizard. At first, Severus would resent any intrusion 
into his pathetic unhappy life but, she would persist until she 
broke through the barriers he has raised. 
 We all hate (well, obviously I don't...) Snape because he is 
horrible to the hero Harry. It doesn't say that he is horrible to 
everybody, in fact he can be quite pleasant to members of his own 
house. Also, Snape cannot stand incompetence in others (Neville) 
because his father found only incompetence in him. I would like to 
see Severus find a love in book 6 or 7. I think that when it all 
comes to an end, he will be standing in victory with Harry and 
whomever else survives.
