no.  What JKR stated was that Snape had been loved, not that Snape
ever loved anyone.  Big difference.  Someone loved Snape at one time
in his life - I think it was his mother, and most definetly not Lily.
 Please remember in OotP, Lily tells James that he(James) is as bad as
him(Snape).  She didn't think highly of either boy at the time.  As I
like to say(over & over again it seems), James cleaned up his act for
Lily and then they both fell in love - Snape never did change his
wicked ways, as he became a DE.

The quotes from JKR(from mugglenet)
MA: Oh, here's one [from our forums] that I've really got to ask you.
Has Snape ever been loved by anyone?
JKR: Yes, he has, which in some ways makes him more culpable even than
Voldemort, who never has. Okay, one more each!

from another interview:
One of our internet correspondents wondered if Snape is going to fall
in love.
JKR: (JKR laughs) Who on earth would want Snape in love with them?
That's a very horrible idea.

(who thinks that there is a very good reason that Snape could never
love anyone and that will be revealed in book 7)
