JKR said that Snape had experienced love. What if he was in love 
with Lily? She was excellent at potions, so they'd share that in 
common. What if he was still in love with her and was bitter about 
her marrying James, so when he heard the prophecy, he told LV that 
it was Harry? We don't know exactly why LV chose Harry, so it seems 
feasible that it was because Snape told LV that Harry was the one 
(in the hopes that James and Harry would die and make Lily 
available) and asked that Lily be spared (remember that LV killed 
James without any discussion but told Lily to get out of the way 
instead of just killing her too--that struck me as odd). LV killed 
her anyway, and that's what caused Snape to hate LV and repent--he 
realized that LV does not actually reward anyone and was despondent 
over Lily's death. This would also explain why Snape hates Harry--he 
lived while Lily died--and why Snape is always criticizing James but 
is notably silent on the subject of Lily. And maybe one of the 
reasons LV was so hot to get his hand on the prophecy was because he 
wanted to verify that what Snape told him it said was actually true. 
It might also be why DD trusted Snape but never explained why--DD 
believes so strongly in the power of love and doesn't want to reveal 
Snape's secret.

I did a search on the posts and didn't see anything on this, but I'm 
new to the group, so forgive me if this topic has already been 
picked over.
