Before OotP came out I might have believed it possible for Snape to
have loved Lily, but the pensieve scene in OotP, I think, dispelled
that possibility. Snape clearly hated Lily (at that point in time at
least) almost as much as he hated James and Sirius. Perhaps his
prejudice against Mudbloods and Gryffindors were the main cause, but
he obviously didn't like her.


I felt that Snape's lashing out with the "mudblood" statement when Lily 
stepped up for him had more to do with the embarrassment of the moment, not because 
he disliked her.
