A View into Snapes Past Relationships

I have a theory based on a interview with JKR in which she was asked if 
Snape was ever in love. She stated that we would be hearing more from 
Snape's past including past loves. I have a feeling Snape either had 
some sort of relationship with Lily Potter or had a crush on her. If 
you recall in OotP when Harry looks into Snape's pensieve and sees his 
father and Sirius's torture of Snape young Lily is appaled by their 
behavior. Although it is said Snape refered to Lily as a mudblood I 
think that it may have had to do with his unwillingness to show his true feelings for her. I think this is why Snape is so torn up about the fact that it was on his tip that Voldemort is led to Godrics Hollow on that fateful night. Which leads to his return from the Dark Side. I 
also think that Snape's animosity towards Snape which has been 
displayed from day one has less to do with the fact that James andSnape 
did not simply get along when the were in school but the fact that 
Harry reminds him so much of the man who married the woman he loved.
