their forbidden love.

Ok, my prediction for book 7: Snape loved Lily, but for her it was
friendship. To him it was an obsessive love. He changed sides because
he realized he put her into danger. The reason he hates Harry is not
only that he resembles James, but that Harry is the Boy Who Lived.
After succesfully having pleaded for Lily's life, what does his one
and only love do? She sacrifices herself for Harry and dies anyway. So
every time Snape sees Harry, he sees the eyes of his love looking out
of the face of his enemy, and he remembers that it is this little
twerp she loved so much she died for him.
